New Bike

the "Lolo Ferrari" of bikes!

 

I really like V twins.
The price is right.
The size is right - 99.9% of my riding is commuting (lots of lanesplitting).
The last time I carried a pillion was about four years ago when I passed a
hitch hiker who was carrying a motorcycle helmet (I had previously passed a
broken down bike and put 2 and 2 together).
The dealer is closer.
I like the colour (Blue) they had yellow 2005 bikes but my wife said I'm too
old to ride a yellow bike!

I would, but I've got a policy of *plonking* spammers

I have turned them over inside a week... thanks for asking.

I don't feel like selling the GSX14... yet.

And it's not just bikes... at last count, I've owned 17 cars in my 16
years of driving, and I'm sure I missed a few.

I wish women were as easy to swap...

 

I posted this the other day, but a mate of mine's got an SV650S to sell.
Over 20k on the clock, but in immaculate condition. Located in the Blue
Mountains, near Sydney. I think it's a 2001 model, yellow, with Staintunes
and possibly a rack/pack system. He's upgraded and needs to reclaim garage
space. Dunno what he'd take, but he was asking over $7k - maybe $7500 (??)
without success. He did comment that it wasn't a great pillion bike, but he
and his wife still managed to pillion successfully. Besides, his current
bike is even less pillion friendly, IMHO and they manage to use that. ;^)

If you're interested, contact me via email - t (dot) fathers (at) gmail
(dot) com and I'll pass on his details.

I've had two six month bikes for that reason, simply bad choices

R1100GS, just couldn't handle riding it any distance, seat was too
uncomfortable, it was heavy too for it's purpose
Triumph Trophy 900, poor handling on normal bumpy Aussie roads

I gave them at least 6 months though.

 

4 bikes and 4 cars (and never both at once until just now) in 36 years.
One of us is impulsive and the other one flatly refuses to admit making
a mistake

I think about 4 years is the longest I've gone but if you add up my three
XJ900s it would probably be 10 or so.
I really really wanted to keep the R1100GS a bit longer than the 18-or-so
months that I had it before it got written off!

 

Aren't they ?

(more expensive though)

 

I was going to suggest sending a complaint to their upstream ISP, until I
noticed this;

magshop.com.au = 203.18.241.16 = ACP Publishing

Good luck in getting ACP to stop spamming you; your best bet would brobably
be to put a complaint in at;
https://web.acma.gov.au/secure/complaint_form.htm

Yeah, it makes you wonder how stupid the idiots are by not honouring
unsubscribe requests from customers who explicitly requested not to be
subscribed anyway, and it's not the spam that bothers me! As I've told
them, they can shove it up their arse, I won't be buying _any_ of their
products ever again.

Complaint form noted.

 

Hmmm .... the bikes I've kept for the longest are the ones I still own

Cant bear to see a good one go.

Bevel SS 20yrs
Boxer 100 11yrs

If you're going to add them up I've had my Guzzi California for 30
years. The engine size has increased twice though.
