Had a great ride out from Wrexham to Matlock today taking in Macc and Cat and Fiddle, Bakewell,etc. Saw this which doesn't normally impress me, but liked the owners humour, and the attention to detail was inspiring, and Jesus, the noise from those Racefit Titanium pipes was frightening! I also got the impression that he was sick of telling people what make of bike it was hence the cheeky comment on the tank, nice! What do you think lads? Love or hate?    -------------

| Only kidding mate! Nice day for it though. Ankles doing just fine cheers. Aiming to get back on 2 wheels before they salt the roads. Even 4 wheels would be a bonus at the moment! |

Well it's different and beautifully maintained. After looking at it a few times I've decided I like it! Funny though, I've always maintained that HDs seem to get away with murder with their pipes and number plates. ------------- Black '04 Tuono, Renegade airbox, Giannelli twin exhaust system, PC3, dyno'd, 16/44 sprockets, lots of CF, Griff'd. www.apriliaperformance.co.uk www.apriliaforum.co.uk www.apriliaownersclub.co.uk |

Perhaps it's an age thing with me but I'm starting to see the attraction of a Hardly,my boss has a Sportster and one of the go faster V Rods and he reckons they are ideal for relaxed riding, although he can stay with most of his sports bike riding mates on the VR .

Looks good to me. Said it before I do enjoy a blip out on MrsR's Sportster. No pressure to go fast & nice to ride with a pillion that you can feel there with you rather tsome distance above & behind you. Kind of like the old days. ------------- Motorcycle friendly self catering holiday apartment Acorn Studio. See us at Air bnb. |
