Oh yeah, that'd be OK too.

Headlights of doom.

But which forum would you belong to and does this mean the STeed is dead?

Dunno about "dead". It's definitely in the ICU and there's this weird guy called House who has diagnosed histoplasmosis. But he's been wrong before, apparently...

Cool two forums for me now. But really what's the point

"Roxanne" is a sports/tourer. Sometime I ride her like a tourer, sometime a bit like a sports. But what is that to do with KB? Even if I didn't ride sprot stile I would take interest in their posts. Same goes for Touring. It's not like we leave the girls to it in the "Biker Angels" forum. And It's cool that Motu gives us Tar-riders a hard time even though he's a "dirty" rider, LOL. Even the Cruisers have good points for us ta learn from.

Personally after I have got through my sub'ed Threads, I go ta New Posts or see what's new on the Home page. Never really get in ta looking things up via the individual Kiwi Biker forums unless the Search Forums does not come up with what I am looking for.

SO what is the point?.

No, No come back we miss you already. It's so lonely over here in the sports bike section.
Members will be going mental trying to decide where they fit in. I can hear the tormented souls already. Oh dear I own a tourer type bike but ride it like a sports bike.. where do I post, where do I belong in life.

edit- and shouldn't the 'others' be called Sports Bikes, not Sport bikes

Mumbled huh? Last time I give you advice. And there was me thinking you were leaning toward the Ulysses.

Saw it today. Didn't look too nice. I think you should go Green. You had less trouble.

With a screen, no spokes, not too much chrome (or crooks and nannies) and room for luggage? That leaves the Triumph ...?

Define "Tourer". How many miles does any one bike have to do to become a tourer?
Same goes for "Sports" how many track days (if any?) before you have a sports bike.

**Squeak the Rat** · 22nd June 2006, 07:31

And I've been concerned about the amount of time perusing these forums recently....now another one to look through...... I might do some work today

Maybe "Tourer" refers to the rider and not the bike.
You can still tour on a 999 - or a 888 for that matter.
