Marauding Wiltshire's streets?

[redken1]

I'm doing it in the wrong order Ken!! ;D
I rode an Aprilia cruiser for years.. now I'm enjoying the handling of a CBR600 , in the future I quite fancy a Blade, or a GSXR thou, or a Z1000,or a fz1 etc .. etc... etc !! ;D 8-)
I should have passed the test 35 years ago mate!!

Just make up for lost time now Chris. I don't want folk getting the wrong idea - I aint ready for throwing the towel in yet, the Fazer aint going nowhere.

Just take the bike, you might actually enjoy it

Go on you know you want too..

Well either I’ve mellowed with age or it’s time to call the medics because it looks like I may have acquired a Suzuki 800cc Marauder. My sister who lives in Carlisle called to offer me the gift which is now surplus to her requirements.

I must confess that I’m not that clued up on the Marauder, but I do know that it is a V twin. As many of you are aware I have been looking out for a winter hack and this could fit the bill.

I would welcome any comments. In the performance stakes, is it on a par with my FZ1 Fazer? :P Will it handle like my old CBR 600 Honda? :P

Don't know if a marauder will be your thing Ken, the riding position is pretty 'conservative' [/quote]

I was trying to have a sensible discussion and you have lowered the tone with your foul language. ;D ;D ;D [/quote]


;D ;D ;D

Will the Meringue not require a bit of an image change Ken? Put on a bit of weight, grow a beard, get some tattoos and some different riding gear; piss-pot helmet, wraparound shades, leather waistcoat and finger-less gloves - then you can become a bro and so begins the slippery descent into wanting to own a Hardly-Worthit..... : : :

Ride on....

My saddo retard Uncle (everybody has one... ) decided at the age of 59 he wanted to have a Harley.

After passing his bike test at the fifth attempt (fourth test aborted after the tester refusing pointblank to have anything to do with him ever again. During this time he was going out on said Harley anyways because "I have been trained so I practically have the licence anyway!" - insurance & other such matters presumably being a sidedish....) he set about having patches sewn onto his jacket, growing an Unfeasibly Large Moustache like that big mofo off of American Choppers and last but not least - a Mullet.

Not even a good one? Looks like a wig! Going bald in the middle anyways so it takes the appearance of a badly sewn set of curtains?

Kinda strange he woke up one day and decided to become - in Westbury no less - a Motorcycle Outlaw.

The point in owning a motorcycle is that it is fast & manoeverable - this does not happen with most cruisers & this is NOT California.

Im only too well aware of the Diavel, VMax etc - hence most cruisers...

[Squashed_Fly]

It's neither of those. It's a Victory

The real question is....


is it the bike, or is it the rider?
