The result of which gave me a real belly laugh, so I don't think that I'll be buying a new bike, or any bike, off them in the foreseeable future!

Saul Posted November 20, 2023 Share Posted November 20, 2023 Just got a message from my mate. He has just bought this. I know it’s a Harley but not much else, oh and he doesn’t want to get it dirty so he is not going for a ride until it dries up. To be honest it does look a fecker to clean. I am going to have a look at it in the flesh soon. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can sell bikes with no effort, so they just take the piss! If my Triumph has depreciated that much in under 2 years, why would I buy another new Triumph? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess you could be friends till Xmas so you could get him some assless chaps and handlebar tassles just to complete the look 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saul Posted November 21, 2023 Share Posted November 21, 2023 No he is a different fella. He is a good mate so I was pleased for him even though it’s not my type of thing. He had a ridiculous orange Victory before hand so he is coming back to the light. He had an XSR 900 before so there is hope. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That chap has just bought another, RE Fury which is an old style bullit 500 with some fibreglass body work. That makes 5 bikes now and not one has turned a wheel in a month. I might pop up a see him later for a chat and get some photos. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I borrowed one for a couple of days from the dealers, I would have liked a bit more braking on the front but I always like twin discs so probably just me. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems a lot of weight for one disc, think I'd agree. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Busa will be along shortly to say it doesn’t matter because the bike is super slow and does not need to bother slowing down for corners and stuff blah blah blah, knows everything, never ridden one, barely rides the one he has, has a track bike in pieces etc.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
