Trust me on this one. I can quote first hand discussions with Mr Bloor Jnr, numerous factory men- I did their local PR for quite a while. Still do when the opportunity presents.

Also an enthusiast with a '95 tbird.

Also check the resources from Chadwick:

So, does that mean the Thruxton is a Cossie Club racer ? . Oh I'm on form tonight, every one a gem!

Shame they are set in Pyrite.

As you were, sergeant major.

You're Orstroyline , you wouldn't understand. I'm pitching to a mature and sophisticated audience. You can get your money back at the box office.

there is nothing wrong with bikes........only the riders.
I used to be anti-mod (rockers rule).....but now the misses has scoot, that i steal time to time.
I'd never own a goldwing - rode 1 once......... and felt safer driving a car with no doors, no brakes, bald tyres......offroad

Ahhh - Big Dave's law of diminishing arseholes.

Folks is Folks. If there are more folks in/on a particular brand - there will be more good folks on that brand. Conversely the same applies to dickheads.

I'm a waving slut. I talk to and wave to any one on a bike.

Amazing what a smile and gidday mate will achieve! Have struck up conversations with the toughest old and young buggers.

Don't forget most bike riders love having thier ego's stroked. I draw the line at ego's though.

Honda riders get more crap on here than Harley riders. I don't think any of the guys who ride them (Hondas or Harleys) give a flying f**k though, they love their bike regardless. I've met decent guys who ride Harleys... and heterosexuals that ride Hondas. IMHO the only bike you should be allowed to diss is your own... or a good mate's bike, but only taking the piss.

Hahaha - not true - I'm selling my honda. I'm sick of Dover and Boomer eyeing up me arse - I want something Italian (that the wife will let me keep which means Monica Belluci is unfortunately out of the question!)

[Skyryder]

Never owned a Triumph then?

Yes A Tiger 100. My first bike. I stand corrected on the Brit bikes.

About what? I don't give a flying f**k!

I'd love mine if it fu*kin went! *exits, muttering about honda electronics...*

I work with a guy who rides an old Guzzi. Good for him and all that. What I don't understand is why this guy has such hatred for Harleys and Harley riders. He calls them tractors and generally puts them down

What a twerp, what does he think the nickname for old Guzzis is?
Yeah- TRACTORS!!
Go to www.thisoldtractor.com
It's official- old Guzzi's are tractors, they sound like them and pull like them and not far off the engineering prowess either.
What sandpit has this guy had his head in?

And that is coming from me- an owner and restorer of an 'old Guzzi'

You need to tune this guy out

Oooh you bitch!

My mate was so rightous, Harley this, made in America that, Jap scrap the other as I had a few Japanese bikes at the time.
Then he asked me to help him split the cases on his Hawg.
Lo and behold, some of the engine internals had 'JAPAN' and TIAWAN stamped on them, he went kinda quiet after that.

That's just to keep 'em busy so that they can't make quite so many Jappas...
