New Toy for the Summer

***Dave*** · 07-04-2006, 12:29

Picking it up Monday

Just had to buy the single seat cowl & trick exhaust can too

Bought it based on the rave reviews, so roll on Monday

The sacrifices we make to support the English trade

Having only had Jap 4 cylinder bikes before, really forward to the torque & sound of the triple.

You've bought two pictures of a motorbike?

Gandhi · 07-04-2006, 12:34

oooh, I'm not that keen on bikes but that looks seriously good. and fast.

Have you got matching leathers?

Warspite · 07-04-2006, 12:35

It even has a face that looks as mean as the rest of the bike (just look at that stare with the headlights), looks like a hell of a bike (I know as little about bikes as most things

), but design wise that thing has definately got personality.

***Dave*** · 07-04-2006, 12:39

I wasn't really after a bike again, but I agree the thing looks fast when it's stood still. Just fell in love with the look of the thing.
Have the Dainese race leathers in black, some Alpine star boots & Arai helmet from last bike....some 5 years ago, so might be a squeeze in those leathers now

nice. I'm just scarred by working in a country pub in the summer and being mobbed by large groups of motorcyclists in leathers

that match their bikes, all wanting soft-drinks at the same time! scary.

I think it's Jeremy Clarkson that refers to them as "power rangers"

Must admit multicolour leathers do look naff. Although I do have the Iridium visor on helmet (bike helmet that is), which is reflective & freaks car drivers out

noah · 07-04-2006, 14:07

mmmmmn, that is lovely, im doing my bike license in a couple of months but it'll be a long time before i get one of those.

Nice bike Dave, but do try not to kill yourself on it old bean!

***Dave*** · 07-04-2006, 17:54

I was thinking of taking a photo at 160 for this fortnights theme

. Only joking.........I would never carry a camera at that speed

orangepeel · 07-04-2006, 18:00

DJW until Monday...

Warspite · 07-04-2006, 18:01

True - that would be silly, what you want to do is get some gaffa tape and fix it to your crash helmet, and use a remote shutter release like they do on parachute photographers

Only joking also

LOL @ Orangepeels shot, that panda looks seriously scared

***Dave*** · 07-04-2006, 18:07

Excellent shot....knee down on a panda....ooh, sounds a bit pervy
