Yo Batt, welcome to the mad house.:yo:

Hope you've bought a fast cool silver Bird and not a slow old black thing.

Hi Batt & welcome, Where abouts in Leeds [The greatest city on Earth] are you from?

 

[Batt]

Thanks for the welcome
Fast silver of course, full givi set, scot oiler
surprised that there is no hugger as standard
Only need a baglux cover and bag
The Guzzi had braided lines and ohlins as standard, how is it Honda still use 10 mile of rubber pipe, and i'm surprised there is very little suspension adjustment available, according to the handbook no rear pre load adjustment.
the power is nice, not sure about the BT57 tyres
I tried a VFR but it felt gutless even against the Guzzi
my son (9) is eyeing up the pillion and told me we are going to Austria on it
Once the frost and salt appears its coming off the road for a strip and grease up

Derek kelly I'm in Rothwell on the outskirts of Leeds

Hello Batt and Huntergather :neenaw:



I love the look of the silver Bird. Of course personally I think a bit of pink or red added makes it really cool!!! :neenaw:

Have fun on the site - we're alll maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad but its not a requirement, it just helps a bit!!!

And don't forget to look out for bash, rideout and meet up info! That way you get to put faces to names (should you wish to!!!!!)!!!!

SOSB 20 - 22 April (Gloucestershire)

THE BASH 25 - 28 May (Thetford)


I'm sure once the duvets come off the Bbirds in the spring there will be loads of rideouts again!!!! :yo:

I remember that one - used to work in a pub less than 3 miles from home - on a nice clear summer evening, it used to take me nearly an hour to get home - going the very long way!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :yo: :yo: (and that was before I had a slow blue one!!!!)

Enjoy !

Hi Pete,

Welcome to the forum. It's kinda cool here and you may even get some sensible answers to a sensible question. Having said that, most of the time we rant, shout, take the pee and generally have a giggle. So, get stuck in and enjoy.

BTW - BLACK BLACK BLACK BLACK. (And, repeat!!!)
