Bit of a blast out....

[karl webster]

Pretty bloody cold. Nice way to clear ones head though.

Not had the old girl long and she had been stood up for a good few year (14 i think)

At 30 years old she still goes well and has a nice look about her.A classic nowadays. GSXR 1100K

[karl webster]

Lol i gather you have been talking to someone nick

 

[fbnss]

no, but i can guess,i just have an eye for the finer things...

Not quite in the same league as that, but I had a real blast on mine today coming back over the tops from Manchester. There are some bends that just need to be ridden properly.

Might be a big adventure bike but man it shifts. And now we have a wee red one for the Missus too.

Was a bit brrr. Stelvio pass in September

Tis a good bike, but wondering if I should be looking at tourers now... You know, age and all of those creaking bones

 

[Chris]

Hey Tony, nice scooters. I'm guessing at your age you are restricted to what you can ride, eh?

Yes Mrs Chris riding very safely. Good lines, good observations etc , just lacking a bit of confidence in the twisties.

In my mind that "slingshot" was the last of the old school Karl

for sure Shayne. ive wanted it off the previous owner for around 15years. nice one to look at wrapped up in storage. Also nice to take for a spin.

Looks a very clean bike that Karl. I bought a 1100L in 1990, the first model with Kayaba upside down front suspenders which sorted out the handling problems. Virtually the same colour scheme except for silver wheels. Fantastic engine in it’s day that oil cooled unit with a full 130bhp in unrestricted form and huge low down grunt. Very tuneable as well. They never really matched the FZR1000 on the track though. Those asymmetric flat slide (slingshot) carbs gave perfect fuelling, long since replaced by ECUs and digital EFI etc.

My ride in Bali, gets me around.

Nice Tony. looks cold lol.

You could do worse Karl.

They are cheap at the moment for what they are, straight bar conversion transforms the bike.

We were out New Years Day on the Valk, wasn't warm though.

 

[froggy Steve]

Long and low is the way to go! 1734 cc Victory V Twin. chug chug chug. with my gut and short legs, crotch rockets or adventure bikes are out for me

 

[Paddler Ed]

$1000 Scrapper - was bought for just knocking about on, and then a friend twisted our arms into taking part in the Scrapheap Adventure Ride: http://www.scrapheapadventureride.com.au/

1992 Yamaha XT600, ex Aus Army (hence green and black and the long range tank)

Partnered by a smaller, more modern thing:

2007 Yamaha XT250, again set up for long range work.

 

[Chris]

Well really been tearing it up today. We started at the Triumph dealer for a test ride of an XRc and ended up at CMC buying an Explorer XCa like mine. Well my mate did. he's happy as a pig in nuts.

 

[Dave_S]

Nice one Karl - always liked these, since a mate of mine (who also owned my local a few years back) had one.
