View Full Version : some pics from yesterday
just thought I'd post some pics of yesterday's ride :) did just over 80 miles down to Riders in Bridgewater and back, nice and steady on the way then a blast on the way back. excellent weather...and no bugs which is the great thing about this time of year!
this bandit is still surprising me...I'm so used to riding the 600 that the torque of this one scares me! if I flick my wrist in any gear, even top, it surges off and really does have some incredible power! after today's spirited blast I think I'll hold on to this for a while...it's got a hell of an engine in it and is easily as quick as most sportsbikes (according to reviews anyway...I'm not good enough to try for myself lol).
anyway here are the pics...the bonnie is the father-in-law's :) loving the polished rims on the bandit's wheels in the sun, and the chrome bits really look great - just a pity my phone pics don't do it justice!

did you have a gander at the new trumpet 675 there Paul (pic 2)??
i saw a couple out last weekend en route to boxhill, one grey, one gold. Have to admit, the gold one did look the better which surprised me as i preferred the grey one when i saw it at the NEC

Bah dont need to driving too and from work. I only hit the motorways too and from S&K's.
Maybe at the weekends pimping around to make it look like Ive got a misses instead a perve on the look out for one
This thing about people having to take more than one person in the car has not been very well thought out.
On a bike there are generally 2 seats meaning that half of the carrying capacity has been used.
A 4/5 seat car needs 2/3 people to be in the car to have the same percentage of carrying capacity used up.
There are cars now that have 8 seats so they should fill at least 4 of them to be the same as a bike.
And the final one in all this are the 2 seater sports cars. They have the same carrying capacity as a bike.
How will they dictate how many people have to go in/on the vehicles???
Will we have to take a pillion in order to be classfied correctly???
