Interesting Benelli

Getting ‘knee down’ is for show..it doesn’t make you go faster.

Anyway, I got my elbow down twice while enduring motorised bicycling…..

Next time put the sidestand down first.

Good point. I've always had a soft spot for the XLCR1000.

Me too, the bottom of the Manchester ship canal

You fell of didn't you

What’s not to like with the VRod?

Absolutely everything apart from the engine but mostly pipes that hit the deck on right hand bends and lift the rear wheel at 0.03 degrees of lean

Strangely enough i do quite like the most un-harley of harley's in a i could cut that up and make something decent kind of way

No.

I fell off twice.

I got both knees down in the same corner once

I got both knees down in the same corner once

Respect.

I wore my elbow through to the bone when I came off a racing bike once.

Worst bit was having all the material from my top picked out of the wound.

You're not supposed to ride a motorbike side-saddle.

 

[Duck n Dive]

I have to admit, I was no longer actually in contact with the machine when both knees were down

I’ve got my knee down, and then my elbow down

then shoulder, crash helmet, then earth, sky, earth, sky. Ambulance.

I've done that at Oulton Park.

Mt350 without all in the same colour without the gun carrier every time as it much more use for the sort of riding i want to do now, done all the big silly stuff, the custom stuff and the fast stuff already mate, if I manage to get another bike before I turn my toes up it will be something fun and the mt is just that

+1

I actually like it, although never tried one.

My opinion is something like that is the ideal "round the world off the beaten track" bike.

Enough power to move and light enough to manhandle and pick up easily.

Yes that the whole point mate
I have ridden one very briefly and it was loads of fun, although quite expensive for what they are they are virtually unbreakable plus easy and cheap to maintain, compare that to something similar like a DR350 and they make perfect sense

I don't got far anymore and have lost the need to go silly fast so an MT would suit me down to the ground, I can buy a mt500 for not a lot but would never start the thing now, guess i have to get saving if I want a 350, i was looking last night and there is a place up north that seem a little cheaper than anywhere else, considering giving them a bell and seeing if they have a nice cheap project one

I thought you could convert the 500 to electric start...?

You can but they don't last very long, i looked into it when I had my 500 and didn't think it was worth the hassle
