& handcuffed

Just got back from a trip to North Devon on the Hornet. Ride report and pics to follow.

Audio system...

I have to say that was epic.

Come on guys, he was busy showing Pecco Bagania how to win Moto GP

There has to be a three month Poll first you impatient git

blindfolded

Reminds me of @Sir Fallsalot , can't think why

And won the World Video Games Championships in the process!

My CVO side cases arrived today, quality looks very good, they are unpainted as I will get the painted when I get the bike redone later in the year. No assembly instructions though and there are lots of parts, so I have to hunt those down. I can fit rear speakers to these to enhance the audio system, which is always an important consideration.

Well I'm glad that's all done.

And I was hoping to see pics of the Hanging Gardens of Babylon and the Lost City of Atlantis!

Sniffing and sneezing, that’ll be my day today. Came back from the UK with a cold. Of course, it’s proper man-fu so I expect loads of sympathy and care from my wife.

I like this one, mainly about Italy and the Alps

Another chinky special.

Poll incoming?

Hmmm......you'll have to wait and see! I could start a poll!

Cos there were more foreigners there than here?

Off to court we go.

The best number plate.

Highside - A French version of Top Gear on 2 wheels.

I don't need no stinking kick starter.

I have a hankering for a Triumph Rocket, I need to do the man maths to justify it, and I can just about fit another bike in the garage ...

I don't doubt that it's a better bike in every way. It's just the headlight that looks weird to me. Yours looks great with that screen on it as it hides the weird part of the headlight. I still don't want to change to a different bike. Mine has just 6000km and I still love it as much as I did the day I bought it. Even if sometimes it could be better if it had a bit more power. And, as you've said, the fuel consumption is great.

As you probably know I traded my CB500F for a Hornet. I agree with the light looking a bit odd. I bought a small screen that improves things in my opinion. Ride a Hornet if you can I am confident you will be impressed, very much like the CB500 just better in every way. I love mine and the only downside for me was the higher fuel consumption, but that is the only thing I can think of and not a big deal in any way.

I saw the new Hornet 750 in every colour available last Saturday. I'm not a fan of the headlight. It looks a bit weird with the screen's shape. In my opinion they made it look better on the CB500F. This being said, I still like my bike too much to look for another one.

It is quite tall. Im just ball if footing it. Its been lowered and has a low seat on it. Id like more of my foot on the floor tbh but it is what it is and i will just have to see how we get on. i did have my very thick armoured winter trousers on and lose a bit of height and the seat on these bikes is very narrow. I could get a bit more taken out of the seat too if needed.
