Hornet Swarm Night City

[gale_wolf]

Enjoyed the ride down to Sulfur City on Saturday but no swarming for me tonight, at home with sick kids today.

Thanks again for the ride boys, was a really nice way to spend a fine day.
Didnt realise everyone was gonna pull over at the end, I started sailing on to the motorway when Justin pulled over then saw everyone pull over in my mirrors haha. Too late by then.

Should make it tonight. Was up late watching F1 so we'll see.

You mean, if you hop on one leg in the right rotation, the 3 consecutive rolls of the dice are correct and you think it's a good idea?

I guess if we HAVE TO, I could be convinced to end up at Carl's Jr again

Hmm i like their burgers but I have a urge inside me to go all out at momotea or that place that used to be a pool hall. Who knows I might even stay for the ride afterwards. (haha whatever zeo)

Good ride lads, Wanpo did a great job leading - until he admitted that he was a little unsure of some of his directions

Conditions were good, but too cold apparently for my girl - she was a popsicle by the end of it and didn't enjoy the experience one bit As per usual, since I don't have a brain, I didn't feel any cold!

Nice pizza at Wellsford, good to see others finding eating places for us to frequent (sorry zeo, just didn't work out for you this time!)

Amazing that nothing untoward happened when the devil was riding with us and leading the ride back towards D'orkland! (of course, his broken top box had taken the jinx hit ... )

Another note - Wanpo is picking up Gremlin's habit of riding at night with tinted visor (munters!) (I flicked my visor down for all of 15 seconds ... just to remind me how stupid they are!)

Took the new CBR250R out for a testspin at lunch time (with a Gixxer thou in tow). There were a few things I liked about it and some I didn't.

Pros:
-It was light... real light
-Nimble, loved turning into the corners
-Hummed along on the motorway no worries, at 120kph (indicated)
-Brakes were nice, the rear almost seeming as strong as the front
-Real easy to handle at slow speeds

Cons:
-Seemed slow, even for a 250. Took a LONG time to get up to cruising pace and I couldn't find the torque, no matter which gear I tried
-Suspension made me lose feel of the bike when going around bumpy corners, nothing dangerous, but just enough that I wasn't 100% sure what the bike was going to do
-Riding position was much to comfortable for me, felt upright like a scooter, and if I sat further back in the saddle I felt disjointed from the bike. (This is quite possibly a height thing)
-Biggest thing that would stop me from recommending this bike to a new rider would be the vicious downshifts. Especially with a newer rider that doesn't know to blip the throttle on a downshift, feels like you're smacked in the back of the head with a 2x4

In summary I'd say it's a typical Honda review, does everything you need and expect it to do, it just doesn't flare up any passion.

I'd be interested to see what you'd think of riding a hornet or VTR250 and comparing your experiences tbh. And no, im not trying to get you to swap bikes with me for the next ride

He prefers the "Ass in the air" position

I'll ride your bike, sure. No offense, but you're not going anywhere near mine. (well you can sit on it, but the keys are staying on my person)

I think you will be best to let Gremlin look after them for you
