Current pride and joy at sunny-dave towers is my Honda XL1000 Varadero - mainly for summer touring (although it does get the odd outing on sunny winter days) - North Wales & the Peak District are my favourite haunts.
Hoping for a trip to the continent next year - applications for the pillion seat opening soon :=)
I've done the Bike Show. We stayed at the hotel at the NEC, the Metropole or Hilton, or something. I went up in my MG. It's a bit too far on a bike from here.
I love the sound of loads of big bikes, all roaring past together. The growlong sound gets right into your stomach. But they have to be big, loud bikes. Mine is a bit crap. It's an FZ600. It's too buzzy and revvy.
I keep getting seduced into looking at all sorts of exotica - had a spin on a Kwak ZZR1400 a while ago - scared me s**tless - toooo much power and rubbish visibility in front and behind.
Didn't sound right either - sort of smoothy rather than growly (possibly because I was feather bedding it).
Transalps are good - my mate had one for a long while - nice riding position and not too 'tall' -although at 5ft 3in he did reckon that every time he stopped he had to decide which side to fall off ;)
Harley Davidson Fatboy Special ad is getting the adrenal glands working overtime, unfortunately I'm a bit old in the tooth now & have to stick to the car but a guy can dream.
Hi Sunny dave can you guess what i have -- now a GSR 750, as per avatar pic.
JJ- I have been to your area (Brighton?) at the rideouts when it don't rain,
all I saw was a lot of old fat blokes & their ugly other halves,
fortunately I dont take the other half lol.
