Wowsers!

We live in Kapiti and we see a lot of super dooper cars from wellie that head up our way for a pootle on a sunny day... I've always said that even if I won Trevor Lotto I'd never buy one as your first reaction is usually a snigger at some lardy lothario peddaling a mid life crisis with a side order of bleach, silicon and botox...

Now - this morning as I was burbling, coughing wheezing and grinding along on the venerable Moto Guzzler I come up behind something that would be worth the sneer and derision of my fellow 'umans. An F360 F1... Feck - what a nice noise when its given its head.

Honestly the mighty yet ancient Guzzler has managed to shatter any hint of a baffle that rust, electric drills and a stout iron rod has not disintergrated long ago and its fairly - erm - 'noticable' in an Italian fashion. Not behind that thing it wasn't. Even at a safe following distance my whole bike was swallowed up in an opera in many cylinders. It vibrated my whole bike and my spine turned to custard which flowed into my boots (waterproof trousers yer see). For the first time ever I couldnt hear my bike running! I had to look at the tach to check it was still running (silly boy we were on the freakin motorway of course its still running). All my aches and pains disappeared as Mr Brain diverted all resources to my ears to drink in the sound...

Yup - I reckon I could handle a bit of snickkering for a spin in that puppy.... Well done Mr F1 driver man - quite made my morning...

I thought the wing was different but yes...

Its number plate said 360 F1 so I guess it wus...

Took my car for a dyno tune a year ago and some chap had his 360 spider on the rollers doing some power pulls (not sure why).

I convinced them to let me stand inside the booth in the safety pit, they had to remove my remains with a shovel:sweatdrop ;)
Nice noise indeed.

Should have filtered past and clipped it's wing mirror without stopping... I hear that's ok up your way! :lol:

Well its bloody wide and it could be done as I think his wing mirror was about the height of the rocker covers on the Guzzi...

But - even in traffic I'm not 100% sure I could outrun it - it was wicked fast and the Guzzler is 33 years old now...

[imdying]

Yes it's fast, but I assume that speed humps will have it fucked :D

So as long as I'm within 20m of a speed hump I'm sweet eh? Cool - I'll file that with my ball bearings and spark plugs in my pocket defence...:lol:

[imdying]

And a camera! :lol:

Definitely a class above a Mk11 Zepher with a Massy Ferguson muffler. When it comes to engine sounds, we never get over them. There's a rider around here that rings the neck off his Ducati every so often. Beautiful .

I watched the Rugby World Cup final in the backblocks of Motueka and after the game was outside having a celebratory smoke when a guy/girl on a ducati wound it up through the valley.I could hear in coming for miles and for some time after it had passed.Pure magic.

There aren't many things that give me wood like a Fezza 8 on song, my favourite is the F355, they just do it for me.

Or a BRM...

The Missuses grandson hired one in Germany last year for 3 days - at $2,000 a day. He enjoyed it!
