ok lets come clean
ok ok i know but it had to be done. the MT has been replaced with a bike the length of county Antrim .
for many reasons like confort, bringing the daughter out on the back and just plain because i want to and want a bike to just chuff about on, it doesnt handle,stop or go but im bloody loving every min of if, if i wana go out and set my hair on fire i have dori or the LC for those duties.
first ever cruiser. it does what it says on the tin.. 2003 800 volusia suzuki
as much stupid sh!t as i can find has been removed and unlike my other addictions its got fluids and fliters and thats its lot..

Re: ok lets come clean
Hey, no need to make excuses for buying something different
We all have other bikes for different reasons.
I bought a New BMW R1250R in January,
I'm really enjoying, I wish I'd have bought one years ago.
OK I'll admit, it's got a load of electronics that I probably wouldn't have bothered with, but now I can go anywhere I want in reasonable comfort, with ease, and don't have to worry about a fuel station for at least 200 miles, oh and with 136bhp, and 106 lb.ft of torque to boot
As you can well imagine, being a flat twin with 106 lbft of torque it will rip your arms out right from the start if you want it to, or it will just bumble along smoothly at low speed, pulls in any gear, it's got 6, but you only really need 3 of them in this country
3rd gear will do 20mph or close to 100mph, the low down torque is really something.

Re: ok lets come clean
Rob mate, it's still two wheels whichever way you look at it. So long as you keep a tube of Auto Sol in the man cave you'll be fine
As long as you're happy with the new machine that's all that matters, and it sounds like you are made up
It looks in really good condition to me. The photo's look great

I'll let you get away with wearing chaps but I won't speak to you if you go the full handlebar moustache
My new ride is a bit of a Howler and I love to make her Squeal
