When the Hayabusa first hit the showrooms there was a demonstrator in motorcycle world in Talbot Green close to me, i had bought a few bikes off the prick there so thought i'd see if i could get a test ride but he said he wouldn't let me go out on it unless i was buying it and done all the paperwork upfront and then the last thing would be a test ride. When i asked why he said people were taking it out just to do the top speed on it which is what i had planned LOL and he had the police phoning him almost every time it went out to say his demonstrator had just done a runner again

120kph pfffft i was doing more than that on the XR400 today

Gotta love a Hayabusa But you’re right, it’s an age thing now! That’s me, when I bounced a whole lot better than I do now, going round Donnington Park on a track day. What was I thinking of?

She ?? @XTreme told us it's a bloke

So you think a busa is too much, I see that more likely that as you have got to your old age you're reflexes aren't what they used to be and you can't handle it, I'd be able to ride whatever on those roads and still live to tell the tale but we aren't all to the same standard I guess... I mean we do have a few harley riders on here don't we....and that says it all.

Ok, you may have a hot lap top but will you be sat in a lay-by near Bristol airport at stupid o-clock tonight waiting to collect your mother-in-law and her argumentative niece. Welcome to my world, at least I can pretend I don't understand her if she kicks off (my wife's cousin)

I’ve had two over the years but the first one I bought was when I took my first TL1000S into my mate’s shop for a service and he always let me take a bike out for a few hours. Now, I’d had a real assortment of bikes as a loan bike from him over the years but taking that Busa out was off the scale. I spent the first hour trying to calibrate my brain to the acceleratorion, the second hour muttering to myself “why on earth would anyone need this kind of power?” and the third and final hour telling myself that in no account was I going to buy one. I’d been back in the shop for a minute before I ordered one. They are that kind of bike.

To be honest, it was one of my most favourite bikes and I’ve had a lot of them. I found I could load it up with the Mrs and luggage and blast off to Europe. It was ballistically fast but easy to ride slow too. It was a real feel good bike and if I win the lottery I will buy another one just keep in the garage and take it out when the mood takes me.

Watch out Ray, he's just trying to entice you into that abandoned building across the road

Do you wear Lycra ?

Took a pic.

Prior to the unforeseen circumstances on our run, @Skippy gave the CB a test ride! Now as you know, I've raved about this thing since I had it........and taken relentless abuse about it! This certainly seems the bike that some of you love to hate! No idea why! So I asked Ray if he wanted to test it out and give his opinion.......after all, he's similar age, stature, and riding experience. Have I been making false claims about it to justify my purchase? Find out the truth! Turn up the volume!

Hmmmmmmmmmm, a rollsroys you say. Is that some chinese make

Anyway, I'm back to a full sized legal plate on the donkey, it's even had an identity change

They’re afraid to try it because they know they like it.

Dang 99% charge to 7% in less than an hour. I'll say goodnight before I have to call the fire brigade

She looks familiar?She looks familiar?

did you have a bunch of midget dago bummers standing round you with their pants round their ankles just staring at ray ready to pounce if he didn’t say what you told him

aye, aye. It seems that I've turned into a bot from Pakistan

It identifies as a Yamaha now

That's not even photoshopped, he took that yesterday with his box brownie

Here we go @Skippy......the Harley gayboys are off again! Next thing they'll start insisting I'm ginger and about 5'2".

This is why I is close to the top of my list I not the front runner, due to it being able to do everything I would need of it.....but there are still others on the list that also tick the right boxes for my current needs

I'd prefer to be fucking myself up on potholed roads looking at places that have been carpet bombed?

Let's all say hi to the bot

We do have motorways and trucks here Marcel! 120kph is 5750 revs with a redline of 10K.......and it'll accelerate from that no problem at all.

It depends if it's for the track or for the road. I'll presume it's for the track and vote for the Aprilia

My god it’s mountainous, someone call an ambulance

Just how did a mosquito manage to bite the back of my thigh when I’ve spent most of the afternoon sat down? Bastid!

Fixed if you want to stay single and never get married or get a steady girlfriend... and your content at getting bummed into the middle of next week at Harley meets then its the bike for you

Don't make me

That’s how Pete bought his, too.

Fireblade because you are a big fat puff.

was that a Canadian washing machine ?

or if you have a gay husband.

I grew up with Par Sands as my local beach, anyway it has always been known locally as Parbados. When I was a kid is was advertised as a mile of golden sands, now advertisers have to be more truthful and it is just about half that, still a lovely beach though. Anyway I was down there dog walking today and spotted some really odd looking birds. Looked to much like hard work to me.

I so do know. I’m the one that turned them up to burningly hot

Where are the birds, are they wearing bikini's ?

You could but the beach is way to busy to get a bike on it. Always something going on down there. Plenty of horses and such as well. Back when we were teenagers things were different. I remember one of my mates flying over a dune on a Honda C50 and t-boning another friend on his DT 125 mid air. Nobody hurt, the only casualty was the DT's gear lever which gained a whole different angle.

You caaaaaaaant ️️️️️️️️
