Dan will be pissed off.............

Thank you for opening our eyes , your vision is almighty .......

The GS550 and the Z650 were the ' go to ' bikes in my day

Yep, now I’m feeling broken

I just want something like I had back in the day for bimbling about. I had a spiffy red CB200 with a Polaris fairing which was, to be fair, dog shit slow compared to my mates 250's so it had to go. But I have always hankered after another for mooching about on, to ride the same roads that I used to. I thought I could have been on Ch1p's with that fairing given how rare faired bikes were back then. I actually really liked my CB200 as a bike and thought it was cool, which it was after getting off a Suzuki AP50. Nostalgia is a strong pull, I often find myself riding the same route and roads home that I used to when I was a teenager. I often do those routes on my CBF and though it's a stodgy old commuter in modern terms, but it feels like the best bike ever on those routes because it is in a different league to what I rode back then. My Dream bike then was a Suzuki GS550 like a couple of mates had, in direct comparison the CBF is worlds better IMHO.

I feel pity for the ones who are blind and can't see what happening at the moment in time....look outside your windows, Im sure many of you no longer recognize the places where you were born...the world has become a sess pool of evil....

What I was trying to say @Saul was that a mate wanted to swap bikes for a couple of days as he fancied a XL185 like mine. I couldn't believe how slow the CB was compared to my bike , I mean it had an extra cylinder compared to mine. On reflection it may have just been his bike as he wasn't one for servicing , oh and it was the same green as the one in your photo which had faded really badly.

All I know it would be some drive for him to reach this place...but in all honesty if he did...I would welcome him into my home , im sure we would get along just fine , you know those Christians Churchs have been poping around in this area for some time , and are getting more and more popular, has the Catholic religion is decaying and closing down in many towns and cities, heck Im someone with a open mind , and I've been curious to see what its all about , and would probably attend one of his sermon....has I look at the status of the world at this moment and time things aren't well and maybe what everyone needs now is to believe in something.....are youth have become so lost that now this virtual world is real to them..maybe someone needs to pull the plug...

Oh dear You are quite an eloquent drunk though

You're petrol powered cars cant do 180 miles on a tank of fuel? Either they are very uneconomical or have thimbles for tanks My 2l mx5 gets over 300 miles to a tank and thats not exactly economical with its motion potion

Couldn't sleep?

I can get 220 from the tank of my Tracer so quite confident I'd do it on a tank at 80mph.

There's a bin in the foreground.

I'm here by myself!

That's sad ... If there ever was someone in need of a big tank GS it is you! Think of the zombies, or covid!

After giving it serious thoughts over drinking whisky after dinner I have concluded you need that green Honda. It'll fill an emotional hole while being a third Honda in your fleet. A third Honda is a relevant number of Hondas, it's so because it is green and really slow and pretty. Also, since it is slow and pretty and old, from the slow side it´ll make you enjoy the rides that you share with people on classic slow bikes a lot more than you do now (because it's naturally slow) , from the green side it´ll look cool, while still providing superiority from being a Honda. Do it, Redbreast 12 says so! I name it "The Lantern"!

He wouldn't, he think Polaris in the inside of warm winter coats!

You've got no idea where he is!

There already is a bin in the background!

You could think that, but apparently Marcel isn't aware he's in the neighborhood.

Don't know what your talking about...you must have things mixed up ...im the one who's been bitch slapping you has of late...lol. So how did the meeting go ?
