Saul Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 Just been out for a couple of hours with the youngest for a bimble around. She wanted to go out on the bike and I’m knackered from a week in the garden so I was easily persuaded. I asked her what she fancied doing and she said ‘sausage sandwich’ so we headed up to Liskeard as she hasn’t been to Checkered Flag before. Tis only 20 miles with some nice twisties on the way which was a bit of a bust in the end due to traffic but we were out all the same. Opened the bike out a bit on Liskeard bypass, the Hornet seems to be getting quicker, whether it is my confidence the 99 Ron fuel or just the placebo effect but it seems to be flying. Luckily I backed right off after a couple of miles just as I passed a copper in a layby waiting for fuck wits. Chloe fed and had her orange hot chocolate, she did say that it was good but Damerells was better. We then went out to see what they had for sale. Possibly the roughest AT I have ever seen in the flesh. Really tidy little Honda CL but 38k on the clock. Some more old stuff Couple of 125s. One was a Derby, chinky? An Aprilla and weird looking Suzuki, I have no idea never seen one before Really most of what they had there was a load of old tat, doesn’t inspire confidence in the place. Oh and as aside I picked up a free bikers bible, as I thought it was a local guide to dealers and that sort of info. Took it out my pocket when I got home and to my surprise it was a real bible. Didn’t expect that. 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only Suzuki could put that atom bomb of and engine in a bike and fuck it up. Just looks so weird, no wonder I have never seen one before, obviously not a massive sales success. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boboneleg Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 They've always sold tat, they had a bad reputation when they used to sell on eBay. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’re beyond ugly. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
