Thread: Got myself another bike.

Very nice Ian. I'm surprised that even Leeanne like the look of them, but I'm really hoping she'll prefer a Harley if the time ever becomes right again.
I always wondered how much they weigh.
My front wheel washed out on a gravel covered gutter as I pulled up at the pub once. It's amazing how much strength you get when your embarrassed it did get me free drinks for a little while though

not to steal your Thunder Ian,,
but saw one of these outside the Meningie Pub yesterday,,
1700cc vertical twin!
even someone as vertically challenged as me could ride it,,,
or fit a chair to it--

I can just see you on a Hardly Davidson Marcus, that big mo and maybe a WWII German helmet and a leather vest .

Bloody Harleys...

The Toyota of motorcycles...(without the reliability reputation)

Settle down mate, it not my choice of ride but what other bike (or vehicle) goes close to it for value retention?
They'd have to be considered the Defender of motorcycles.

I say again..........

The big Triumphs, up to 2.3 litres, are nice bikes but with herniated discs I can only ride bikes that allow me to sit upright.

Yep, that's got me puzzled!

I just can not see the value in them - although some of the newer models are pretty nice...

They are the worlds best at marketing!!! I'll give them that!
