thats the cheapest i've sen by a long way, must be worth a gample at that price..

if you're planning any winter riding, heated grips are also excelent!

ya just gotta love mk,on a quick bike

them roundabouts are ace,

with 0-70 dashes in between

no fookin traffic lights

buzzed around the city for around 20 mins,

the roads were so quiet that ya could straight line so many large roundabouts and lean right over on the big uns well worth the trip,,

There must be something in the air!

Funnily enought I plumped for the bike this weekend to 45ish mile ride up to Dr Frank's and work on the truck from South London to Bucks. Some urban, country, and motorway riding, and a damn good blast it was too

That VFR looks nice , is that to be your next bike

Ordered the front screen and new hand grips this morning which should improve the crusing ability of the Honda

i'd have to pry the keys from my brothers cold dead hands go get that one..

owned by the mechanic from Bob Kings in bedford from new, it has been played with a lot, to the extent it spits flame on the over run, and wheelies off the throttle in second..

its done 13,000 miles from new, he's had it about 7 yeas and done about 500 on it!!

Mind you better than my Honda's 1st owner - 646 miles in 19 years !

I sure don't over use my Camaro but it does get driven, in winter the longest it goes between a 30 miles run is 4/5 weeks.

I think he needs to sell that VRF to me

philoldsmobile · « **Reply #49 on:** October 10, 2007, 11:53:49 am »

from his garage to ours is the furthest its been ridden this year, a whole 50 meters at most...

must be something about owners of red V engined hondas!!
