AWS - I used to think Colemans' loaner 1250 was a bit of alright until I got the Fazer. Since then it has seemed kind of rough and a bit rattly. To be fair, it might be getting a bit older and loose, but I think the Yammy motor is way sweeter.
I always wanted to ask what the Fazer was like, you were to far to good a rider for me to regain my breath when we stopped for me to ask you.
Hope you get out on the Brut, it looked nice and sounded better.
Its all the stuff you hear at the Pub after the ride = talk, some good, some bad, some funny, worth a listen.
The Antidote-anyone keen for coffee on friday nite...leaving drury about 8 and heading into kroad, mate I cant afford it - I would never get home.
Spokes - If Sharry would be cumfy on the back of one we would be looking for one as a pillion bike. - I tried the pillon, the seat is ok but the pegs arent comfortable would have to modify the pegs alot(unless you are MOM), feels like you are on top of the effiel tower. (Been there done that)
Spokes - What you need is reliable. And the 900 Hornet is one of the most reliable bikes out there. - +1 its a Honda ant it
Tigadee - Yeah, he hasn't fitted his uber-cool hi-tech blunderbuss/vevezula air scoop yet! - That thread didnt go anywhere, I was keen for a trip to Mansfield or Taupo. Still keen to see both the Vevezula scoop fitted with the Turbo and Intercooler.
Is it a cooincident that a Bandit is almost Identical for engine size, weight, length, power as stock standard as the Sportster. Anyone else noticed.
Both are understated bikes - simple, not many techo devices, apart from the Keyswitch on the HD. And watching that tail light is addictive.

So are we having one more for the year?
After one year of ownership, I've put on new front and rear tyres, replaced the battery, chain and sprockets, rear brake switch and rear brake bulb. Not exactly economical...
Mind you, it is coming to ten years old now, so I guess some things would be failing... My luck...
Must do that... LOL!
What are the signs that they are going?
Oh? More info, pray tell?
Uncle? She? Your bike's a trans?!
Don't you know what they're torque-ing about?
Shit, that ain't a Bandit then, it's a touring Busa!
