Re: interesting bikes found randomly..
For some reason the one of the things I remember about the NSR V-Twin was that Ian Lougher had one to ride at Oliver's Mount, 20 odd years ago.
I'm sure I went to the meeting, but I can't remember if he was on the NSR or not, I've a feeling that if he was he didn't clean up like expected, but then an NSR is a hell of a thing to get round Oliver's Mount.

Re: interesting bikes found randomly..
A guy who parks where I do has one. He sold his GS to get it and absolutely loves it. I checked out a few YT reviews and they seem to have gone down much better than anyone expected?KungFooBob wrote: Wed Jul 03, 2024 10:10 pm Feck, that's cheap!

They're apparently actually quite good.

T'was an attempt at humour.

Re: interesting bikes found randomly..
I seriously wonder if it's possible to turn right without the mudguard fouling the gear lever
Re: interesting bikes found randomly..
Yes.... use counter steering!!!!!!!! but really, what sort of shape do you have to be to ride that in the first place?

Re: interesting bikes found randomly..
Many years ago I owned a Suzuki T500 that ended up with forks almost as bent as those after I had a little accident. I rode it like that for a couple of months until I could afford to get it fixed. It didn't seem to adversely affect the handling

Re: interesting bikes found randomly..
I did the same with my first bike,a Suzuki Hustler. During the UWC strike in the 70s there was hardly any traffic because the petrol stations were closed,yet I still managed to run into the back of the only car for miles. I rode the bike with bent forks for months,because I was skint.Eventually an adult took pity on me and had them rolled for free.Druid wrote: Tue Jul 09, 2024 7:09 pm Many years ago I owned a Suzuki T500 that ended up with forks almost as bent as those after I had a little accident.

Let's hope it stays there.

Slippery Sam
In a very retro way, I quite like that.
