Sorry only caravan dealers would trade a honda, they are the only ones with yards big enough to store scap metal :girlfight: :rofl:

No no no no no ... whitewall tyres show intelligence and good taste? C'mon. It's not like it's a Cord, Deusenberg or Zimmer. That WOULD be good taste!

The muncher can chew cars whole, even minces trains in a few pieces... not so sure about a goldwing tho... :bleh:

That is because they dont "munch" precious metals and the Wing is worth more than it weight in gold, plus nothing can "munch" THE MIGHTY WING

MUHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA ( Evil Laff ) MUHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

I wasn't so much worried about the munching as the spitting back out once it got a taste. hope it doesn't land on me! :p

[Bren]

good on ya autos....

Have you not noticed when tasting very fine wine, you only spit out the best wines, so the muncher would be tasting fine bikes. If it spits out the Wing then it must have exception taste, dont worry it falling on you I will catch it, dont want THE MIGHTY WING getting dirty :2guns::banana::rofl:

Well done mate. Looked at the C50 seriously myself. Nice bike.

Indeed. Looking at upgrading to my red and black beauty next year :love:

i defy anyone to look at that and tell me it's not sex on wheels :D
of course she'll need some modification and customising, but that's half the fun :)

Honest Truly, I think it is a beautiful looking bike.My only issue was that I am an impatient commuter and found the manouverability a bit of a problem. I am sure I would have got used to it. The appearance is really quite seductive and I almost talked my way to a M109. The back wheel did it for me.

I worked out I would need 2 bikes, one for the weekend and one to commute on, and couldn't really afford one!

Yeah, the commuting thing was a point of concern for me too, but luckily i dont have a big commute, and dont really need to lanesplit to make it in a reasonably short time, so i can live with having to wait a bit if needed.
Plus it'll just give me more incentive to move out of auckland :yes:
i'd rather have the ability to comfortably do trips out of town than have the ability to nip through a smaller gap in traffic. Gave the GN a blat down the motorway the other day, and moderate winds found me holding the throttle wide open in 5th to try and maintain 100-105 most of the way, ringing the poor girls neck :( so much for my idea of little jaunts out of town on her.

That'll be a great bike for you, I've got the 2004 Volusia, before they made it a Boulevard, great bike, comfortable as, reliable as. Enjoy it!

Commuting and lane splitting on a cruiser is easy as, as long as you don't hoon it through the traffic, I commute on my Volusia every day from Stanmore bay to Grey Lynn and find lane splitting quite easy, there are a few instances where a sportsbike would be better, especially when some cars don't move over :angry2:, but generally its all good.

Yeah, i've heard nothing but good about them from the people who ride them, always encouraging. plus she fits me like a glove, which is hard to find for a bigger guy. just cant wait to get my license sorted and go get her! :D

How do you find her on sidestreets (for lack of a better term), i.e. narrower roads, not really a lot of room between the cars. mind you i often look at gaps on the narrower streets i ride daily and think to myself even a sportsbike couldn't get through that one, maybe i'm just a nana :)

Narrower roads and sidestreets aren't a problem, once again you will get used to the wider bars and eventually be a good judge of space, but in saying that I have smacked side mirrors of cars so many times I have lost count, but fuck em, if they don't move over they get their side mirrors smacked!

one way to look at it i guess :)
Thanks for the tips mate, just more encouragement for me to get out there and get her :niceone:
