    Bugger. I'm turning into a poseur.

    I've got a Rocket 3 to put some k's on before it goes on as a demo. So what do you do with a posing pouch of a bike?
    You put your wife on the back and go into Ponsnobby for dinner.
    It sure beats arriving in some flash cage, as in EVERYbody looks.
    The when asked what she thought of the pillion seat. She said with 'that look', it vibrates a bit, doesn't it?
    But what is it with some parents, they wouldn't let their rug-rats climb over said flash cage. So why do they think it's OK to play with someones bike?
    I was expecting little Harry to touch the bright, shiny, extremely hot headers at one stage, so I thought it was time to have a "quiet word".
    Isn't twilight cruising through half empty streets just the best?

    oh lucky
    yes, yes it is the best. Especially when with nice perky breasts pressing into your back and ... well... I'm sure you understand that feeling

    And any parents who can't / won't control their cuntmuffins when around motorbikes need to be attacked with the titanium spork of sterility.

    I'm surprised you could get your helmet back on for the ride home....did the tat wash off easy,or will you try another brand next time.Did you get the walk perfected in time? It's a sort of a waddle,with the arms up airdrying the arm pits.And in your best Arnie snear....''that's not Watties!''

    Yeah, but I couldn't bring myself to wear chaps.
    Just a confirmed heterosexual I guess.

    The Rocket is a cool bike to ride isnt it? Much more nimble than it looks and awesome acceleration. If I had the spare money to invest in a cruiser that would be my choice.

    Envious? YES!

    I would love the opportunity to have a free ride on any motorcycle and would enjoy riding around looking at myself (and the bike) reflecting in the shop windows. I think there is a bit of "poser" in us all if were are honest. Good on ya.
    What do you really think of the big beastie, Lou? Cheers John.

    Nah, it's red. Like a Fire engine.
    It is a cool bike, the nearest thing to an auto you can get. Click into 3rd and just lug it on the torque curve. I reckon I'll be able to tie my shoe laces without bending soon.
    It doesn't feel like 320 kg's when moving either, very nimble, good clearance and if a triple isn't the best feeling/sounding engine design I'll be surprised. It rumbles along with just enough vibe to feel alive.
    Triumph score again.

    Guess you have to ride it to appretiate it...

    It's just a bit too big (size wise) for me. Surprised you can reach the pegs and bars Lou. How close to the tank do you sit?
