I have trouble staying in slow mode and like a good bit of bhp. The problem I have is that although they can be ridden slowly it only takes one overtake or squirt to pull into a gap in the traffic and boom I’m no longer in genteel mode. The bike lifts, your internal organs feel briefly weightless, your hearts in your mouth and a cackle comes from somewhere deep inside that makes you wonder if your related to the devil, its not something I can resist. So it’s a Sunny Sunday afternoon bike for a chilled bimble. Bought on looks alone. Could be a complete donkey. If it is it’ll make a good piece of art.

Hehehe. Even I’m not that daft. Although it’s kinda close so maybe I am

Love it’s looks. Look forward to reading your write up when you’ve done a few miles.

Not quite. Would love vintage British, don’t want the work involved in keeping it on the road.

Had to look that up!

Cos how they present themselves and how liked by public they are directly effects whether the tossers can hold onto power in the next election. Nothing to do with substance just popularity.

Very close.

Hardly no. Chinese no.

Soz fell asleep, all this fresh airs knackering. Single cylinder. It’s not Japanese Its not European Would love a Ducati but no it’s not a Ducati.

Not giving any. You ask a question and you’ll narrow it down pretty quickly form there.

On the Bandit which has a reliable power source

Cos I’m away.

Yer got that, Pete that was ages ago

I feel I may get slaughtered for getting another bike but I have good reason. 1. I always wanted one of these. 2. It was offered as a birthday gift (and what idiot turns down the gift of a bike?). 3. I don’t own anything (ish) in this category. 4. It’s pretty.

As you happen to ask yesterday I paid a deposit on something… I’ve not even test ridden it. I just NEEDED it. It could be a doozy of a thread cos it’s not expected til mid October at the earliest! Let’s do it ‘Guess Who’ style. I reckon you’ll nail it pretty quick, then you can start slating it

You have croweaters?

Howzat?

No idea!

Everything everyone has said about avoiding riding this weekend was true. Forgot it was the first friday of the school holidays. Motorway packed, filtering bloody hard work and it pissed down. Nevermind made it to the Pennies and have decided as the weather is shite I’m going to postpone riding the Lake District til tomoz and mainly eat steak n lounge around. This beast (Ultrglide) weighs over 400kg! The bloke who rides it (with his wife on the back) is 73 and looks like a strong breeze would knock him over. Goes to show you can’t judge a book by its cover. I might remind him of that later cos (and you lot will love this) he spoke solely to Mr Slowly who knows almost nothing about the bikes and his wife insisted I looked at her kitchen pans Old people ay wot u gonna do?

Don't panic anyone it was me. Sorry about hacking your account. You can have it back now.

Me too.

That’s gorgeous. And not what I was expecting. Dunno why

Bijeezus

Hope the journeys smooth and the bikes everything you want it to be.
