Soo now I've piqued your attention I can reveal that today I reserved this beautiful beast with the likelihood that I'll be travelling to part ex the ninja and ride it home I'm picking it up from Chesham which is around 260 miles from home. The dealer has offered me 1500 quid for my ninja which considering I bought the ninja nearly 4 years ago for 2500 a loss of 250 quid a year isn't so bad So there you all have it I can put you all out of your misery....well till Pete changes bikes that is which let's face it won't be far away

Bleddy cold wet and dark. Gonna have to get some warmer riding gear. Mind you I couldn't have parked the bike any closer to my office.

Muffs ready after lying in the shed for many years unused and unloved

And definitely don’t Google ‘furry hand muff’ because you have a natty Victorian style wool cape that would look well with a traditional hand muff. Where your mind is when you type that into a search engine and where the resulting images will take you could scar you for life. Probably.. maybe.. just something I heard…

I also like the first gold colour, only because when it came out it was so impressive that I grew to like that. I’m a big fan, but am a step away from loosing my permit as it is. The Dainese shop where I go for coffee and to buy wine is a meeting point for the Hayabusa club, always a sight:

FFS again 2022

Donald will save us from the gay liberals.

I can't say much on that front I haven't troubled a comb for years

You'd better not look at @Sir Fallsalot's, @Skippy's, @Pedro's, @Tym's and @Marcel's heads then!

Never mind the indicators , are you a big munter and do you know a El Ginger ?

Ewe now I want to wash my hands

What do you mean they were unloved? Did you just "love" them?

We've still got temps up to 30.......but it's going to change soon!

Bikes going perfectly mate, starting to free up nicely now it is approaching 1800 miles. Its me thats struggling, although its just a case of getting used to it not being sunny and warm

Well its only going to get colder so get some Muffs over those hand guards they don't look good but by god their a blessing when its raining and cold

Not really. I mean, when in the right mood there are roads that I might do over 3 times the speed limit, some might call that being a bad boy. On motorways sometimes I kind of let it rip just so those young dudes on the CBR600 don’t think they’re the shit, bit what annoys me is that the tickets that have been pinned on my permit are an 80kmh exiting a village in the countryside on a 70kmh area and a 110kmh on a 60kmh between two 120kmh motorways, the ladt one I was quite lucky as I usually do that bit on cruise control doing 130kmh. seems like you can’t be a responsible speeder nowadays without being caught out for crap. Almost makes me want to get a hayabusa and a roll of white sticky tape just for going out on sunday mornings for coffee! PS: oh, I forgot, while I was away my dad felt an urgent need to fill out a Euromillions and parked my car on a crosswalk, the twat!

That’s @XTreme just before he had to flee Wales after he got caught stealing then sniffing Taffy Jones wife under kakers

Its called Projection, its a mental disorder, like liberalism.

You see the logic of the Harley FanBoys there zzzak? If you don't ride a Harley then you're gay! Which seems to be the polar opposite of how the rest of the world sees them.

Just be careful if you fit a top box as the standard racks are notoriously weak and will snap if you put too much weight on it. There are a few strengthening kits available but I’d get in touch with CoooerB Motorcycles based near Northampton as they are Enfield specialists and can provide a really good kit. I had one on my Himalayan and it worked out well. If you do speak to them ask for Ian and say Skippy says hello………..and start sharing your biscuits

Ahem

I have a couple of decent warm jackets and can always layer up, it hands and legs that have been feeling the cold. I am hoping the Muffs will sort my hands just need to get some warmer over trousers. Thermals won't work for me as most of my shifts are in a warm Skoda. My Mrs had been taking the pish about getting a romper suit to go over the top like the Michelin man.

Nooo nobody said anything about any words

Nope. What word? Nothing to see here. Move on.

Bleddy Ali Express is emailing me daily with daft bolt ons that I don't need, problem is I am weak when it comes to shiny things

Melted the last pair.

I am learning that, all that obsessive hand washing during the pandemic has created habits

Hang around here for too long needing to wash is a given

I do yes so I'm going to be very very careful

I would be springing for a nice Rukka suit and hoping not to die.

The average daily temperature are around 9 to 14⁰c here now so it's definitely starting to drop

Well I hope I can keep my licence in one piece now I've gone and done this.....its not going to be easy though

I don't know, if you're commuting, when it takes you more time to put in your gear, get warm, ride the bike, get out of your gear, than it does to drive, just drive and be warm and healthy to enjoy motorcycling when it's meant to be enjoyed. I once commuted on my Transalp, in winter it took longer than driving, but I never had to face serious traffic.

Decent bike gear is essential if you're commuting or doing serious mileage year round. I've picked up some pretty good gear secondhand on ebay over the years. There's also a lot of crap on there, so you've got to be a bit picky.

by both I mean the right and the left side, I cannot turn just one (side) thanks for your help! I' ll check that for sure

Id not have something if it didn't look right... Thats why i never take the mrs out

That's because your still a tart when you get older looks seem less important

Keep being a bad boy then eh Pedro? There looks quite an assortment there, I am definitely not a fan of the brand new shape busa they don't light my fire like the gen 1 and 2s

I find the mudguard pretty good at stopping detritus getting flung up over the back. Maybe wait n see how you find what you’ve already got? But don’t wait til your can’t undo mud caked bags before ordering

My handlebar MITs don't look right but in the winter they work right i'm all for function over form

A black Hayabusa is a pretty thing. With a clean looking stock exhaust and the cowl on instead of the rear seat even more. Looks clean and pretty.

Petes OAP status means he needs another reminder it’s 2022

It's an 09, from what I can see in the pics it has a quick shifter and yoshi exhaust, I'm not sure whether it's just a slip on or full system but I'd hope there's a power commander or some other fueling wizardry to make sure it's running at its peak, the vehicle description doesn't say anything more than a yoshi exhaust so

Yeh.....he threw that out knowing some twats would drop themselves in the shit! It was the usual suspects..... @Six30, @Richzx6r, and @Marcel. Remember those names when TOTY gets close!

If Royal Enfield made a funfair...
