Is it me, or does the current line up include some of the ugliest bikes known to man? I mean, who pays £25k for something that looks like this?


Plenty of people are willing to pay £20k to look like a racer while 50 pencing it around every corner.Trogladyte wrote: Mon Oct 26, 2020 10:57 pm I mean, who pays £25k for something that looks like this?
Somewhere in the clouds at the back of my mind, one of these features as part of a road trip for the wife and I. Not owning one, just renting one in America somewhere...

A road trip sounds good in theory, but all those hours driving or riding would get a bit wearing for me.
It's America, there's not a lot to see. I've done the Henry Cole series enough to know what you'll find, Diners and random places with random stuff.Scotsrich wrote: Mon Nov 02, 2020 7:23 amMe too.Harry wrote: Mon Nov 02, 2020 12:32 amThat's not for me, it would be fun for a few hours and then I'd be fed up.Taipan wrote: Sun Nov 01, 2020 5:42 pm

I’ve vaguely considered the USA for that but 2-300 miles a day is simply too much considering it doesn’t leave you much time for actually sightseeing.
Although if others have done it I’d be happy to be proved wrong.

For me i can't think of a worse trip than US on a motorbike. I peak at 45 mins on a motorbike though so i'm an exception.
No, i'm not really. When i think of places like Andalusia, or the Alps, you get great views, epic vistas but twisty bendy roads to go with it.Taipan wrote: Mon Nov 02, 2020 10:30 am You're kidding right?I think it's around 3.5 million square miles with everything from amazing geology, fauna, wildlife, cities, small towns, incredible modern architecture, beaches, lakes and some of the best paved and unpaved roads and trails on the planet. Its why a lot of Americans never go abroad, they have everything there!
Harry has them too, it just takes 2 hours to get to themDodgy knees wrote: Mon Nov 02, 2020 2:06 pm The Tracer forum has many US members. Some of the photos I've seen are fantastic, including twisty mountain ranges. Yep, there is long desert highways but they do have the nice bits aswel.![]()
