And riding in Britain is a nightmare in terms of traffic volume, bad road surfaces, and Police surveillance compared to Southern Europe. You can spend all day picking your way past streams of cars.....get half a mile of open road.....then go through the same thing again. And remember that's based on how I remember it in 2005.....it's probably far worse now. it aint getting any better and the way things are now there is no point in owning a fast vehicle crap road surfaces and too many cameras Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope, I have been on enough bikes to know what I like. I have done hours and hours of research and the bike I am getting will be like putting on a familiar sweater. I also like to live a little wild......lol 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will even add on the discount that was coming to this weekends big sale, which pays for delivery and some. Funny story, I said to the nice fella, please make sure the bikes have a good going over before delivery, as my last experience was horrible. (My bike came with many broken items, dash, front tire, etc... all after being "checked") Then he realized that he knew who I was. He had been working at the dealership that sold us the Himalayans. Him and another employee left and now work for Honda. So they knew all about my troubles and we all had a giggle. Then he said, that won't happen here! What bike is it, well we wait on that a bit longer for that, anticipation is fun. Now I need some new pants, something more suited to street riding....oh and a new helmet..... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
