    I'm Over It

    I'm so over this bike thing now the state of our roads irresponsible cage drivers i'm sick of it.We havn't been out for a long ride in ages we just havn't wanted to So i want to sell the busa and buy a boat.
    We will have a bike for pete and i to go for a pootle every now and then but we don't see a need for a big bike like the busa. Pete is thinking of something like a bandit.

    Anyone want to buy a limited addition white busa


    How Many people out there are feeling the same as us.

    1300 to a 1250 that goes pretty much the same on the road?

    All the dangers that you mention are present down here too ofcourse but I think due to the much lower population mass you might find some of these driver related issues less prevalent down these parts...
    But then again there's probably a lot more stock on the roads and the roads themselves on average are'nt in as good nick so...
    I feel sometimes like what the hell?!! But I get over it, enjoy motorcycling too much to chuck it away..

    I sorta went through a similar mental process when I bought the Hornet, and again when I bought the VFR. As I get older, and as the traffic and associated hazards get more pervasive, I see a time where a Bonneville will increase in appeal to me. I did consider a Harley but they demand too many compromises.

    Like being very enjoyable to ride at around the speed limit?

    I'd pick the Scrambler from the Bonne range myself.

    Likewise. The bonney is the sort of bike you can keep in the garage forever, you can pull it out now and then for a bit of fun, or do some serious miles on if you want to..

    Yeah, much the same here, I often think of hanging up the helmet for good then I have one o them rides, you know one of them rides where ya just don't wanna stop and wash yer hands for tea, where everything comes together so sublimely you can't remember what you were doing before you got on the bike.

    When the whole world seems to be working against you it's all too easy to forget why we ride.

    Oh bugger
