Black it is, very, very black[1] with shiny bits. I am in for a quick cuppa and an even quicker quick adjust of the controls and then I am going out to check the tank range. I have learnt something already about it: don't attempt to adjust the gear level while the pipes are still hot. [1] Black enough to help with my MiB application, except for the gay blue anodised thing that does kph to real world measuring systems conversion. -- steve auvache 750 VT Shadow(something for the weekend) Bindit 600(was lost and now is found) GS500E(small but perfectly formed) mongvan(dehydrated)
In uk.rec.motorcycles, steve auvache amazed us all with this pearl of wisdom: steve auvache 750 VT Shadow(something for the weekend) Ooh, suits you, sir. So, does that mean you've got a fleet now?
Whinging Courier wrote Oh does it, you should have seen how fucking good I looked in the co-op window as I went past, in a high gear at low speed under power. It seems so and half of it is actually running.
Lozzo wrote To the max baby. You are just jealous cos I have a bike that looks the business just sitting there in the one true colour and only needs the addition of me to make it look too fucking awesome for words. -- steve auvache 750 VT Shadow (something for the weekend) Bindit 600 (was lost and now is found) GS500E (small but perfectly formed) mongvan (dehydrated)
Lozzo wrote I have and the only cure is sex in large doses. -- steve auvache 750 VT Shadow (something for the weekend) Bindit 600 (was lost and now is found) GS500E (small but perfectly formed) mongvan (dehydrated)
Lozzo wrote Yeah but I will look cooler than you on the road to perdition. -- steve auvache 750 VT Shadow (something for the weekend) Bindit 600 (was lost and now is found) GS500E (small but perfectly formed) mongvan (dehydrated)
Lozzo wrote I might as well be. I just had this horrible thought. I have gone and bought me a cruiser as my 'something for the weekend' and because I have done that, now I won't have any mates who will talk to me so I haven't got anywhere to go at the weekend. Bummer. -- steve auvache 750 VT Shadow (something for the weekend) Bindit 600 (was lost and now is found) GS500E (small but perfectly formed) mongvan (dehydrated)
'Hog wrote Snot an ACE see, if it were one of them it would be the crap that Lozzo imagines it to be. Although, I have to say it, the 500 VT still looks the best of the bunch in my eyes. I'll say. Lower than a low thing it is, I can get me feet down *and* bend me legs, which is novel. And something on the left hand side which makes really pretty sparks for only a very few degrees of lean, hardly more than a bit of new owner enthusiasm really. It is going to be like a mobile angle grinder once I get familiar with it. It is. One of the things Mr Honda did with the VT range is make very short bikes for their style. He saved an inch or two mainly under the pillion's bum. But this is not an issue for me, as long as there is room to bungee a bag of shopping I am happy. -- steve auvache 750 VT Shadow (something for the weekend) Bindit 600 (was lost and now is found) GS500E (small but perfectly formed) mongvan (dehydrated)
