Boxer or a V-twin
Shaft drive
Trail / adventure bike

(I can only think of a couple that didn't have clipons or dropped bars)

or a scitsu

Its not helped by having the biggest bubble they could find The fairing doesn't look so high on other P&Ms, I assume its been replaced

I've just watched the XJC episode of Wheeler Dealers (on Quest). They reckoned the 4.2l straight six was betterer. I also had a XJ 4.2 straight 6 both were nice :thumbup: The 12 was heavy so on soft suspension it rolled a lot but you really could balance a 50p on the engine. When i first got it, it...

I miss my V12, I wish I never got rid

Oh hang on, 9mpg, bugger to work on, rust, bloody expensive parts

At least it doesn't have the bars around the legs

My guess is leccy scooter

Apparently available in the 1980s, known as a 'babe cage'. I decided to not Google it.

I can imagine those bars bending and trapping the riders limbs in an accident

Aside from the fact its a CB750 I like that, big gap, pod filters and all. That's what our bikes looked like in the mid 80s when we got something usually late 70s and stripped all the dead weight off. Except that's not painted with a rattle can and looks a damned site prettier

Its been decided that asthmatics are not a priority. It was on the BBC last week. Apparently we are at an increased risk of long Covid but no greater risk of death. You only get bumped up the list if you take steroids orally and have been in hospital. Steroid inhalers don't count, only tablets. I've...

Yeah, that didn't look at all bad but their new strategy seems to be the same old 'concentrate on their core customers'. Does seem a bit doomed.

I think I'd wet myself if I rode that

How does it turn adventure bike market on its head its just another tractor...
Harley producing a short stroke 150bhp motor is much more interesting, but no they 'lose' it in this POS.
Stick it in an XR750 rep and they might actually sell a few

Eh? It has a back wheel at the front, not just the comedy tyre size, look at the hub...

My wife had Astra Zenica at the weekend and had 2 days of puking / nausea
She's OK with that, its way better than Covid

Happy Birthday

Cheap electric guitars. They should be terrible but they're surprisingly ok. I assembled one, as a kit, over Christmas really to see how awful it might be and because the length of the Christmas break can be well boring ;) Yeah the electronics are at the cheap end but I was expecting real out-of-th...

On my driving test, half way through the 3 point turn a dog came and stood in front of the van and puked for what felt like an eternity. I failed that one

On my test the examiner chose a piece of road that has just been top dressed for the emergency stop. Luckily the brakes on a Bantam are rubbish so it wasn't too big a slide. The examiner was very apologetic and passed me.

And Nankang never grips
