So what other bikes did you ride in 2004?

[D.S.]

As it says, what other bike have ridden in the last 12 months?
Given that some of us appear to be so judgemental, I'm interested to know on what basis these opinions are based........................I presume they are based on riding exerience, so come on then, what else did YOU ride in 2004?

 

[Bob Pinder]

The entire Buell range
The entire Harley range
The entire BMW range
Honda CB600RR and CBR1000RR and 1300 Pan and Firestorm plus CBR1100XX
Kawasaki ZX636 and ZX10
Yamaha R6 and R1 03 and 04 and XT 500
Yamahas MX and Enduro ranges
Laverda Jota
Gilera SP180 Runner
Norton 750 Commando Interstate
Moto Guzzi 850 T3

Seems like I hardly had time to do anything else

Best one? ALL of them individually!
8l1nd

Or could it be the 954 blade :dunno:

 

[Bubba]

Just an Aprillia RSV1000 Mille. Oh, and a BMW 1200GS. Oh yeah, a 883 hardly too!

I'm only judgmental on my own riding, owing to the lack of expertese on my behalf and the 3 inch pin in my forearm.

 

[Fat Bert]

Now I come to think of it~~~~

Shame time - I actually rode the Hardley Tractor Sportster [Trades Descriptions time?]

883cc of thumping bollox [IMHO] and zero stopping power

15 minutes later [when I'd handed it back to Cycleclipsz] he fell off the bugger!

Also rode VTR Firestorm - now there's a ride - light...flickable - torquey

Also rode Duke 748 but stopped after 10 miles thinking my wrists had seized up

Also rode a mountain bike for 5 miles - and still haven't manged to rediscover my testicles!!

Wanted a go on Shaun's Arse 1 - but that would mean he'd have to ride my BIRD!!! Sod that!!

and I sat on a Mille - pondered - thought and thought - the management told me "NO" !!

Thats because he slipped off the seat due to 'vaseline' contamination from your fudgey arse..

 

[russ_fae_fyvie]

Just two !

This my seem pathetic after some of you lot :xm but I just rode the Blacky till the salt appeared, now using my 03 Triumph Tiger until the roads clear up again. Tiger is a cracker though, well until you get back on the Blacky of course !
So then Cyclops, whats the Rocket III like ?????

[Rolfy Dave]

Hate to admit it.....

but.....

Not a single one last year...

Did a few the year before...

Just been out on a STX1300 Pan European..... Lovely bit of kit. Not as ballistic as a bird, but a damned sight more comfortable for me in me old age...No neck ache/no back ache/no leg cramps :beer:

Just gotta sort out a deal on mine first & arrange the dosh.

Best wishes,

Rolfy

[Codbasher]

Blackbird :bow:

Yammy XJ650, Winter wreck

Suzuki GS 125, Floozy's learner, and winter standby

Honda CB500, Floozy's main bike, but mine when I want to have ride.

 

[roXXo]

ZX7R. I still like them very much

KTM LC4 super moto. The eldest lad's. Great fun

XR250R my old faithfull. You can have fun on small bikes too

SP1. Really special. I thought the Bird was deceptive regarding speed but the low reving, creamy smooth v twin is in a different league to the thrashy Blackbird.

My Bird. Awesome, rocket ship that still keeps pulling when the SP1 fades.

Aprilia RSV Mille. Very good, easy to ride but rougher than the SP1

Aprilia Tuono. Loud and crazy but high bars are a strain.

Ducati 1000ds Monster. Thoroughly enjoyed it. The small headlight fairing/screen makes for better high speed work. Tall 1st gear. Lumpy at low revs but smooths out nicely.

Ducati 1000ds Multistrada. Engine just like the monster, beautiful suspension, really floats over rough surfaces. Trail bike riding attitude is OK but seat is hard and tips you forward.

Suzuki Gixxer thou. Felt really good until I opened the throttle.Unbelievable. way too much for me.

Triumph 350 (enfield 250 frame) Pre 65 trials bike. Hee hee. I don't have enough skill to do it justice.

Suzuki Beamish RL250 trials bike. Who remembers them? Top tool in their day. A very good green laner.

Kawasaki KMX125. Shite on the road, not enough power off it.

Yamaha DT125. Better than the Kwak.

That's all
Love riding all bikes. Always on the lookout for new experiences.
