I can't remember which one I got a ride of, but it really had me worried
when, before starting out into the traffic, I gave the throttle a wee
blip, and the thing felt like it wanted to throw itself sideways at the
ground. =:-O

Once I got going, it felt fine, tho.

Aye, and they probably charged like wounded bulls for the one that was
mostly holes...... :-|

Very much like a big V8 car but very few of them actually roll over.

Well, suppose you get a bike free. It will still cost you $300 for
rego and $100 for TPI. That's $8 a week, or 160 kms, before you even
start to save any money. Tyres for my bike cost me another $0.033 per
km as against $.01 for the car. The actual break even point for a free
bike as a second vehicle would be around 250 kms/week.

what you ride sanbar?
i see many riders along the monash inbound in the mornings.

 

You ride anything bigger James?If you do you will understand and believe
me lkots of times extra power and still travelling under the posted
limit is possible.
anyways there are 2 schools of thought and i agree to disagree with zebee.

 

anything would feel underpowered after a busa.

 

And grabbing a handful of throttle will plant you into the boot of the
vehicle in front?

I heard it was a Yank invention on the "Doctor John's" Battle-of-the-Twins
'Guzzi of the early eighties.

Likewise, I ride what I ride to work because I want to. If I wanted to be a
real miser I'd ride the rotary pushy. (Bought it when I didn't have a
license, see.)

I'd be checking the letterbox for a summons Clem! (touching wood)

 

Is it a peripheral-ported 13B?

I get about 22km/l from The Jackal around town, and averaged about
18km/l coming back from Brisbane over the weekend (higher speed, a bit
of luggage, and a headwind most of the way).

At $1 per litre, that's about 6c per kilometer.

My truck gets about 6km/l running on LPG. At $0.40 per litre, that's
about 7c per kilometer. I find this interesting. ;-)


BTH

 

watch out the econovan im driving ATM does about 6km/l on petrol

thirsty fucker

 

And the have the gall to call it an "econo"van?
