New bike month for KB'ers?

**Lou Girardin** · 17th December 2005, 07:42

I picked up the new Bandit from Colemans yesterday

, there was a new bike for another member being picked up and others have posted about their new toys.
Ain't Xmas time great.
It was a mad dash to get the fork springs and shock out of old Bandit and sprint into town to get the new one. I've managed to get the Micron can on and the rest of the weekend that I don't waste working will be spent on fitting the extra bits to it.
So far so smooth, and it feels quite grunty already. I'm not to sure about the Michelins in the wet though, so it's a bit of nana riding for a while.

Hey Lou we should go for a blast before you run it in, and I might be able to keep up!

I have three toys, one new and one not so new and the other way old. Pics are below.

Hope you enjoy your bike Lou as much as Im enjoying mine.

I had some toys - but I tossed them outta the cot ----

Lou I guess you have Macadams on the Bandit as I have on my K4 1200.They seem ok in the wet, but are more a touring tyre than a performance tyre. What model have you updated to.

I bought 6 new bikes this month - but I took them all back as I looked a real dork on each and every one.I reckon there is the perfect bike out there for me - the one that transforms me from John Rhys-Davies/Gimli into Arnold Swartzenager/Terminator 2 just by sitting on it....moneys no object,I just need a bike that makes me look good!
