Post by benny hedges »

wonders what the storm would shift like with such a block :biggrin

It has an S+S motor, 2.1litre as you say, dunno about the running gear, but at least it'll have worse fuel consumption than a Storm!
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.

can he see over his bag when he was sat in the seat?

Anyway, he looks a bit dressed up in his matching camo 2 piece, simpson and MX boots.

Trying too hard, not cool :thumbdown:

yeh i thought that with his luggage lol - i think he had a few bob and just bought a show bike - obviously not intended for a commuter bike lol - why go touring on something as uncomfortable and bad handling as that?
i wouldnt want to tour on a hardtail lol and it must be totally fiddler on corners..
he'd have been better off buying a hardly.
he looked so un-used to manouvreing it at the pumps, he had obviously only just got it, as with his gear, probably £700 worth of camo, brand new, and a £500 lid .... i think you're right. poser.

nice engine though.

Each to their own hey? Not something I'd ever aspire to. Those things are great for the open roads of the good ol' US of A. Jeans, leather and bandana .... camo and a Simpson stylee lid ... naaaagh, I don't think so. Maybe if he was 18. But whatever floats you're boat .... bet he was happy and that's the main thing.
The force is strong with this one!!!

It actually goes the opposite way to conventional bikes, you sit with your back to the tank, you get to see where your going then, the bars then "sit" on your shoulders and you do proper counter steering, anyway its totally sh1t and a waste of time, just plain daft. end of a bell helmet too. :lol:
