Would be great to park up and watch though...

Kaz and I just got home from visiting your local coffee house for a mid evening hot cuppa..... Almost got cleaned up by a silly old biddy who saw us turngin right but she didn't want to give way...OK though, had the wits about me...

We sat there and watched person after person come out of eating joint just down the road having a good look over the Duc.... I didn't realise it got that much attention..

of course its easy getting the bike .. its paying for it thats the prob .. & dunna want to max cc back out again .. keeping that for emergencies ..

ohh well I guess its all happening for a reason .. just not sure wot that reason is yet ..

anyhow means the horses will get more riding time

You should try it sometime, park up and sit in full view of your bike and relax with a coffee or 5....Just watch people as they walk past, you can tell the bike enthusiests from the idiots that just want to go fast.. It is rather interesting really.

I'm like that sometimes... Think I am really fast then I get passed like I am standing still... Normally by a big yellow beast around a corner.. Damn Truimph riders make it look so easy!!! Kinds makes you wake up from that day dream that you have your very own bike hahahahaha I get lost in that moment alot.. Always wanted to own a bike since being a very young fella, now that I have one, it distracts me lol

**Supertramp** · 8th November 2007, 21:41
