    I actually saw this thread, stumbled onto that bike and posted it cos I thought it was cool.

    There's a motorbike forum here http://boards.ie/vbulletin/forumdisplay.php?f=577

    I know nothing about bikes really, closest I can relate is our Honda 350 Quad bike, which is tremendous fun.:D

    Yeah I know about the other forum just thought I'd see if any Nocturnals liked em.

    Yeah i'm a big fan of bikes, i had to give them up 2 years ago when i went back to college cos i couldnt afford a car and a bike. Last bike i had was a suzuki sv650s which i sold to a mate

    I couldn't afford to insure and run both when i was in college unfortunatly. And I also had major problems with the sv......so many in fact that i will never buy another suzuki bike because of it!

    Not really but probably will next year as 125cc is the max your allowed at 16. How much are these going for second hand.

    BrynW was it the forks my dads mate had terrible trouble with his.

    Actually i had no trouble with the forks....well once i put heavier fork oil in them! The standard fork oil in them is awful, the front of the bike is like a bouncy castle when you try stop! I got heavier stuff put in and it made a huge difference

    what about choppers? I had an Honda Shadow 750 myself.. sold it going on 2 years now :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 510 ✭✭✭animan


    *shudders*

    Haven't thought about choppers since I was younger. I'm so ashamed I actually liked them. But to each their own.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 16,095 ✭✭✭✭omb0wyn5ehpij9


    I'm not a big fan of choppers either, i'm a sports bike fan. Next bike will be a cbr600rr!!! *drools*

    Have a Buell lightning, Yamaha XVS1100A and a Road King.
    Enjoy taking the Buell out at night, went shopping for curry ingredients in the 24hr Tesco last night.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 371 ✭✭Zarbon


    Too many for one guy...donate to the poor.

    Anyway I enjoy driving my bike...immensely.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,583 ✭✭✭✭kowloon


    The Harley isn't suitable for everyday commuting, use the Buell for that.
    The Yama needs a respray and a few bits.
