NO RESPECT for wee bike riders

[Number One]

im just saying, you think the world actually cares what bike you ride? and just becasue you're on 250 everyone is agaisnt you?

You really are a pillock. Time to get the clearasil out young man. Did you even read my post where I told people like you to not take themselves or what they read on KB too seriously? I don't think the world thinks anything about me...infact I don't really care too much what people think of me based on their assumptions from how I "post" on here. You'd do well to remember that some of us actually live our full and real and important lives offline

The difference between riding around on a full noise Harley or Triumph to a two fiddy is immense.

In terms of how many people change lanes or pull out in front of you or drive too close.

Well said that man The two bros on my twin cuts a path at splitting time...(hell I've actually had people in the fast lane on the motorway pull over into the left to let me by, and that wasn't because I was hooning and suddenly screamed up behind them either...people hear it from a mile off and look for the sound then they spy my big yellow eyes.

I have never ridden a 250 or a big nosiey bike at all aye.

I'm not going to address your weird spelling but if you have ridden a big bike for a good while across a range of situations and then done the same on a quiet little bike you'd get it. It's ok one day you'll grow up

noisy threatening bike + tinted visor + nasty-looking threads + nasty-bright headlight = NO PROBLEMS !

Exactly...oooo only one more sleep now

The first time I ran over a sub-250cc bike and rider for not riding on the shoulder I felt a twinge of guilt.

Now I get MSTRS to make me up kill decals to slap on the driver's door.

250 riders are all greasy herberts anyway.

You guys take yourselves far too seriously.

Yep, there is certainly no substitute for the noisy fuck-off crackle from a big(ish) vtwin. Yum.

Outta my way!!

Oh absolutely...my little VTR having aftermarket twin carbon exhausts, the Vtwin gets a real chance to breathe and gives her a whole different aspect from "just a little 250"....she barks and gets plenty of respect for it.

I reckon that Honda should make that exhaust system standard on the VTR 250s....they'd get even more sales, cos it just makes her sound sooooooooo horny

hehe, my learner son saw/heard a bike like his with the same exhausts, and his eyes flew open wide.. The sound from them was quite shocking!

I do admit to a very shameless tinge of pride everytime I ride in a group with other VTR 250 owners who don't know me...it's interesting watching them first noticing my bike, then realising what she is, and then seeing the wash of green colour spreading over their faces as they hear her purr and then roar as I open the throttle!

She is quite unique and that is why I'm quite happy not upgrading for quite some time. I'll make a few cosmetic changes, but that's about it for a few years.

[sinfull]

There is no sound that matches this one flying past !!

AND to all the wee bike riders out there I promise to not be a wanker like the dude on the big whale bike and the losers in cars....You have a right to be on the road and I know for a fact that MANY of you will be faster than me too.

You say that now, but ...

I never had problems on my 250. The thing is that I see a lot of people on smaller bikes tend to not take the stronger road position! i.e off to one side etc...so people will bully them to one side and try to pass etc....

FFS! Riding to work this morning taking my usual strong position about a metre to the left of the centre lane when blow me down ... some prick passed me on the left! I was too stunned to even react (externally at least).

He was lane splitting.

Beauty of an open face helmet - lane spitting.

Amen to that, you've caught me having a wee gander at your bike too. I just got a pair of Scorpions for my VTR1000. They make my bike sound very sexual indeed.

You have yellow eyes? wow
