Pete Posted July 18, 2004 Author Share Posted July 18, 2004 Nice run out today. Ran into some guys on mega bikes who wanted to be shown back to civilisation. So I did.....via the mountain road! Some of these ten grand bikes are not too clever on real world roads you know! 8) BTW...Alan XT...was that you about 11.45 coming the other way on the Llangurig-Rhayader road?

skyline Posted July 18, 2004 Share Posted July 18, 2004 well now ive got my ho*da i went on my second proper ride today to matlock it was well good, i went with a cbr600rr n we had a buzzing time, yesterday i went to the cat and fiddle (highest pub in england or somthing?) with quite a few bikes and that was pritty darn good to hell having a bike that does over 50mph is bloody superb...except for fuel consumtion. by by to my 80miles to the gallon :/ now im all out of petrol money, ive done 800km since i got it on thursday (not including friday as the bloody tank split (dont start i know its a honda :? )) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XT Alan Posted July 18, 2004 Share Posted July 18, 2004 (dont start i know its a honda :? )) I am more and more convinced that this, so called, legendary Honda build quality is a complete myth nowadays. Beemers, likewise aren't all they're cracked up to be. Think the unthinkable! Kawasakis, Suzukis and Yamahas are now the best built bikes you can buy.

axl Posted July 19, 2004 Share Posted July 19, 2004 Yamhead......I noticed you said "your wifes Camaro" , I seen one in the paper the other day, how good/bad are they, it was an 82', not sure of the model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator YamaHead Posted July 19, 2004 Moderator Share Posted July 19, 2004 Axl......It's "My Wife's Camaro" because she originally found it when we bought it, & she drives it most of the time.....except when it needs looking after.......then it's Always my prob :roll: I've been a Camaro fan for over 25years.......especially like the 1st 3 years they were made.....'67, '68, '69 8) ......which were a helluva lot easier to work on.......unlike this '90 RS model I own now....... The '82 model you mentioned, looks quite similar to this....but probably doesn't have the ground effects that the RS does :wink: Don't get me wrong.......they're alot of fun with the T-tops out, cruising to the beach or something....especially with 5 litres of V8 power under your foot 8) ......It can just be a right pain in the arse to work on though.....always gotta jack the thing up a mile just to get under it :roll: I'd much rather turn spanners on my bikes or my trusty GMC pick-up 8) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
