i got a spada today

**ducatilover** · 4th April 2006, 19:41

i got my new bike today, its as some already know, a 1989 honda vt250 spada.

shes just been imported and she was just vinned/rego/wof in the last two days. and she only has 25000k [well 26 now

] and new tyres....
it goes extremely well for a 250 and handles amazingly well

and it look so goddam nice. i rode her home from masterton and didnt want to stop, so i went and showed all the mates.

anyhoo, the bike is in immaculate condition and it only has a small scratch on the brake lever and a tiny paint chip on the front gaurd [i might swap it for the spare carbon gaurd i had for the bros.

my only complaints are, it gets bashed around by wind....alot.... and ..... ummm... thats about it. even after the 650 it seems rather powerfull and its incredibly smooth and free revving, but also has a very very flat torque curve and will happily pull away from 40ks in 6th

it cruises quite well at 100 - 110 but i kept it to 80-90 cos the friggin wind was nearly blowing me off the road.

comfort- its very comfy and i happily rode 300k in the wet today

.
handling- waaaaay beyond my limits. i rode till i found some nice dry road i know and entered a corner at the same speed i would have on the bros650 and the bike laughed at me and my small testicular arrangement

, i turned around and did it a few times again and am still getting used to how insanely fast it drops in.

anyway, it cost a grand total of $3844 including the new pair of boots [which are sooo nice and warm and dry] and the insurance to cover it while im paying it off....

yup, im fucking stoked

No I don't. I can't afford one due to the fact I came from a poverty stricken broken home and was subjected to horrific abuse. Feel sorry for me too?

How do you say "go fuck yourself" in spanish?
