No need for that, crashing is not an option.....

Try and have a few more beers before you hit the road, works for me..

I want one of these because anyone who owns a bike like that must have a big willy

Gotta agree with this, I was riding to the Aran bike week on the Blackbird and about 7 guys came wafting past me on Beemers........ I was doing about 180 kmh at the time. They were all 2 up and those things looked like they were glued to the road.

Yea, its a great pity they look so fvcking gruesome

Yeah, right... 80km/h maybe....

I used to own a BMW R90S quite a few years ago and it was a really smooth ride. I couldn't hit 5th gear unless I was doing close to 80mph but still a great bike.

Haha, you bloody great ponce!


















Yeah me too, I've got a 'Mio'

I just bought a cute little Red/White Yamaha Fino for the gf. I haven't ridden it yet, but she tells me the farangs are whistling at her on it.

Wonder if they'll whistle at me if I ride it?

If one laughs hard enough that air is forced out the nostrils at great volume it can often sound like a whistle. You bloody great ponce!
















Yeah me too, I've got a 'Mio'. And people do laugh.

I had a 1976 Daytona orange model for a long time. I put many miles on that bike. San Diego-Chicago, Lethbridge-Brownsville and in between.
I'd ride all over NM on the dirt roads. It would eat up highway @100mph all day long not even breathing hard.
I leaded the handlebars and had a Mike Cordin seat. I was comfy for all day rides.
My current R1100GS is the best bike I've ever owned and all the bike I'd ever want.

ME, mine was the silver smoke, such a smooth machine.

My first street bike was a honda silverwing, I was 14 and the bike was perfect for me at the time. fully dressed bike with a stereo

well there was the moped before that I would get it going so fast down the hills in california I thought the front end would shake off!!!!

My very first 2 wheeler with an engine was a Powell, I was about 12 and then the Indian next.

hell-- I forgot about the honda 400 twinstar-- that was my first bike but only had it for a couple of months before upgrading

damn--must be getting old--the memory is starting to go

No really, it was 180. I was on a blackbird not a poxy super 4

^ Hey hang on, you just said you spent your days pushing the mouse button, and making millions? Was it like, an imaginary "blackbird"?

I prefer a turbine motorcycle:

^ Why?

^110 mpg on diesel

Lets get on the mountain-road to Riggers house, and I'll smoke you and you're Blackbird on those curvy roads, are you up for a challenge ??
