Sorry mate; you know it's all about the bikes with me!
Pics of my new love, taken by her previous (grieving) owner. They don't do her justice, believe me!
As with all new loves, there are also the not-so-brilliant bits one learns to accept. Previous owner highsided on a new tyre/wet manhole cover at the top of his street. Cosmetic damage plus pregnant wife insisting he get rid of the litre bike and get a 600 means I got a cracking bike at a bargain price! Will have her on the road in no time!

Riding a 1250SA Bandit - half the power of the ZZR but just as much fun.

Bit harsh isn't? It's probably polished anyway but no need to piss on her fireworks eh?

Bit of a nasty comment IMHO.
Some people buy fast bikes, whilst others earn them.
FC has earned her litre bike because her riding is good enough to appreciate it. She doesn't need to bandy about "RWHP" figures for self-justification. |
