you know, the one that can only be scratched by a bike.

I was knocked off busa in feb 2018, it was written off, and i have been off a bike since then. NCB expires in october 2020, so shouldnt have too much hassle insuring something.

I was thinking big muscle bikes, as i like em. No weather protection tho.

Anyone got any experience of the gsx1400, xjr1300, cb1300 big one etc?

Thanks,
Lenny

Soz to hear about the smash Lenny, how did you fare? Brutal handling balls of ****e eitther way them lol.
Here be my picks

Smart moneys on this, tis a lovely smug bastard of a bike.


I simply do not do kwakers but these make me want to. Big butch bastard of a bike.


I would sell a kidney for one and then the other one for a set of fcr's and a handbent sato ti system and rwu ohlins and...

i was fine thankfully, filtering up a line of stationary traffic at about 10 mph, someone decided they needed to do a u-turn. I bailed off the bike and was fine. unfortunately the bike wasn't - all panels wrecked, exhausts, front wheel, and some other bits. Financial write off.

Thanks for the list - some that I havent considered on there.



I did know someone with a falco (he was bald) and he really rated it. Dunno could i do it tho.

Bummer on the smash Lenny, dozy feckers in cars sometimes need a kick.
Surprised you didnt fling the busa engine into a a wee fiat or something!

Falco is sweet imo, they are more than the sum of their parts, always looking for another.
As to my hair doo i prefer being labelled folically challenged and yep tis me, good to "see" ya again Lenny. Give a shout if yer ever down my way man.

i was down that way a couple of weeks ago doing my nursey voice. Oh how we laughed. good to hear from you again. what are you on now yourself?

Ya wanna hear my put on Doctors voice, comes in handy!
Bikes are like ourselves dude, old;), principally a carbed blackbird and first gen caponord. Theres a brace of old suzis in the shape of a dr big and gs thou and perhaps parts to make another lol.
Much like kobe beef cattle they've been massaged with oils, fed beer and tend to laze around the garage yawning. Actually the bb stretched her legs showing off to a crazy fast 19D porsche of some kind on the way home from work friday. She can still dance!

Tbh Lenny if I had the spondoolicks for something newish I'd get that tall rounder beemer the XR thousand yoke. The concept of a 150 horse sportsbike on stilts is pretty appealing. Question is are they reliable....
