Saw a couple of bikes ride past too.. what a day for it! one tooted at me.. looked like a VFR400 or something similar. No idea who it was though!

I rode with a few sportbike riders down her in PN on my Meanstreak until i brought the concours a month ago I was never far behind them and in some cases in front Even blitz them on Vineger hill in the dark
They all gave me the respect i and the meanie deserved
Even helped me try to find parts of the exhaust i lost scraping round some of the local twisties :rofl:

[Drum]

Maybe you hooked up a tassle as you were passing, and were actually towing him? :whistle:

True, nothing like folding up the boards on those tight twisties :laugh: fortunately my boards fold before the pipes, cheaper to belt a couple of new scaper pins in when they wear down...
Now there's a peice of road I enjoy, left at vinegar hill on to feilding... Niiiice...

[Toaster]

[Toaster]

The last pic is just for laughs

[98tls]

;) nice try boys.......nothing against cruisers.......in fact the m10 is on my one day wish list for sure.......if the guy on the R6 cant lose you guys through the twistys then he needs to seriously ask himself why he owns one.

[bmz2]

i know that m109 , lamonster, close to 200hp with the nos, he's trying to break the bike and trailer record at salts

[bmz2]

he said he did loose me in the twisties, i caught up to him on the straights

[bmz2]

no ,we need to have the sports bike , to take the lead so we can pass them when the cops are having a chat, so just think the money that sports bike spend with the police keeps the roads in good cond, for the cruisers:yes::innocent:

Hopefully no contributions to the central fund were made over the weekend. There was a heavy presence of :Police: at the western end of the NW motorway!
Detector was going apeshit as I was accellerating... up to the speed limit!

Shit flyboy, you got some nuts posting that you got the learn from a cruzer on the internet.

Taking over the world you say Johnnyflash?

There seems to be too many 109s in that picture... :shutup:

It still amazes me that no matter what bike, people treat the road like a race and see who can pass who! :whocares:

[merv]

We're all members of the human race eh, even Suzuki riders.

Hi MBZ2,

I was pretty sure I was in my cage over the weekend on Lincoln Rd next to you, and also mabe up the Gt Nth Rd to the SH16? Nice - Niiiice - bike if it was (or wasn't)

But then I checked your profile pic and maybe it wasn't.

[pritch]

Was in the Reception area on Friday of one of the car dealerships with whom I have dealings through work when the Service Manager called me over to his office.

He had sounded just a little excited so as I walked in to his office I said,
"You've bought a new bike."
Indeed he had. He has said goodbye to his M109 (couldn't get used to the riding position) and bought a new GSXR 750. He feels that this choice is closer to his "motorcycling roots"...

[Toaster]

Sounds like a sensible move.

I actually went the other way from a GSXR1000 to the M109R. For me I found the GSXR to be a fantastic bike, but too hard on my back (many injuries over the years) even after only a relatively short ride. The M109R certainly requires a good fit for leg and arm length to 'fit' it comfortably.

[vifferman]

Who works/lives on the North Shore and rides an M109 home from somewhere out Albany way and turns off at Glenfield? I was following you on the VFR one night, and was impressed by the bike.
Nice bike, Dude! I think I'd have one if I bought a cruiser.

When I was in Oz recently, I had some dick on a Harley full-dresser come up behind me with all 3 lights on high. I was in a bog-standard Subaru Forester auto, yet every time we came to some corners, I'd lose him. Eventually we came to a very long straight, and he motored past, salvaging what small vestige of manhood he had left.

Ferked if I know if they have any manhood though..

Yeah, was you. Even the wife was impressed with your bike. Looked like you'd just ridden it out the showroom!

I hinted that a nice newer bike like that might good for the pair of us.

Didn't work mind.

[DaJa47]

[Jantar]

So what has happened to Flyboy who started this thread? He hasn't been scared off by the big cruiser has he? :Pokey:
