cool bikes

[jeremysprite]

went to riverton over new years, and i saw a suzuki tl1000s there...stood there staring at it for about 5 minutes. then i saw a shiny black triumph speed triple. Both were Vtwins and i was waiting for them to leave so i could listen to them but they left :(.

[toads]

bummer the triumph would have sounded sweet! nice bikes!! ( drool)

[Coyote]

Caltex Rimutaka in Upper Hutt is a great place to watch the bikes go past :yeah:

[jeremysprite]

i live in queenstown :( beautiful town, but bikes aren't very common here. Especially in winter time. Stupid ice and grit!

I like staking out bikeshops with my trenchcoat and video camera... :yeah:

The speed triple a twin? or did i miss something in this sentence
Yes cool bikes group i would like to add buells, MV brutales, Munch mammuts, Cafe' Racer singles, Gezzi-Brians......

[jeremysprite]

yeah i just look at the ones on the internet. every so often i'll see a harley or something down here, rich bikes are more common than poor bikes, because of the nature of the town, and people who live down here have too much money and not enough knowledge of cool bikes. That's why they buy harleys (not hassling them) instead of a brand new R6.

[jeremysprite]

i bought the last bikerider magazine, and it had an article on aprilias. THAT is a cool bike. Dunno not sure if the speed triple was a twin, not sure now that you bring it up...

People go straight into buying harleys cause they don't know any better. Its sad

Dunno not sure if the speed triple was a twin, not sure now that you bring it up...Twin = Two Triple =Three. now how many cylinders does a Speed TRIPLE have? You obviously haven't heard the rorty rumble of a unmuffled late '70s Honda 250 twin have you? ;)

Cool, another beer thread :cool2:
Think theres a bike sounds thread around here somewhere, where you might hear some of these bikes mentioned.

[MD]

Good to see you are interested in bikes JS and welcome to Kiwibiker. It sounds like you need to get out of Queenstown a bit more or read a few more bike mags so you can recognise the many bike species that wander the NZ wilderness.

No bike shops in Queenstown but. A couple of OK ones in Alexandra though.

Too many fah fah foreigners in Queenstown. I roared around there in first gear on the Zrex and nobody took a blind bit of notice of its throaty burbling. Unlike Masterton. I guess I'll have to think about some Neptunes for the STX...

[Posh Tourer :P]

Aint it annoying when no-one looks at you when you are trying to show off....

[Posh Tourer :P]

The STYX did you say?

Cool to see theres still strong support for good bikes down that way, havent been down that way for a while. Should go see the family and take the camera me think :yes:

[avgas]

just thought of some more 'cool' bikes, KTM Dukes, some blades, GB's, Trumph Thruxtons, Nortons, RD's, XS's and XJ's, Proper sporty's....basically anything that looks badass, not sporty.
Yeh Central Otago does have a lack of bikes, used to live in Cromwell while the old man help tunnel for Downers.
Heard that place is a ghost town now.
Get yourself a bike kid, as its a prime place to be a hooligan (well a safe one anyhows).
