Maria was there today apparently blown away by the city and the number of bikes about, in particular a Hornet...WTF? No accounting for taste!

There sure were a lot of bikes in town. I sat on the balcony and watched the boat go out, carrying the lad's and laddess's to the southern road of freedom. Bit of a list to port tho due to loading both Concours's on the same side

Lovely wee pootle back up the line, got very good economy today

I would agree with all that!!!!

Yes, it is Tracy's replacement for the car I killed!

You really think I would choose to buy a Suzuki?

**cowboyz** · 27th March 2009, 16:06

jezzzzzz had me worried there for a minute.......

To be a little serious for a bit.

I have driven one and they are surprisingly snappy. And roomy for a little shopping cart. Just not real good on the mans ego driving through town with elbow out the window.......

Off topic. But A very safe car. Designed to protect occupants. Car will be poked after a crash though.

**Elysium** · 27th March 2009, 18:35

Funny enough while everyone is talking cars, I sold mine today to a car dealer less then 1hr after putting it on Trademe. I might have some cash now so I might look at doing a Trade in for my bike for either a VTR or SV.

Got across Safe and sound - they had all the triumph riders stand on the opposite side to balance things out.
