Moderator YamaHead Posted August 19, 2004 Moderator Share Posted August 19, 2004 It's my understanding, that he rode a 500 Gold Star 8) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted August 19, 2004 Author Share Posted August 19, 2004 Just did a search and as I thought it was a pre-unit Triumph 500, but in some episodes he was seen on a Harley. http://ask.yahoo.com/ask/20030716.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Posted August 21, 2004 Author Share Posted August 21, 2004 Change of plan again. The dealer found they'd made a serious cockup, and even though I could have insisted on the faired model as I've already paid, I wouldn't do it cos me and Dai Garland go back a long way. Any other dealer than Dai would have had to stand the loss. Anyway, it's the limited edition unfaired again, and tbh I don't mind that much cos 90% of my bikes have been unfaired, I like the colour scheme, and it fits in with "oldschool".

liquidcooled Posted August 21, 2004 Share Posted August 21, 2004 i like the colour scheme also, it makes it stand out a bit from the normal bandits. nice deal pete, well done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted August 21, 2004 Author Share Posted August 21, 2004 Looking at that one and the faired alongside each other, there's quite a difference. The Limited doesn't have the frame painted the same colour as the bike like the others. Cos I reckon that looks a bit naff, like a cheap streetfighter job. Black gloss frames rule in Oldschool. Plus, it's got the tasteful logo rather than "Suzuki" splattered all over it. Which is a definite benefit. And I reckon the GSX-R colour scheme with the white tailpiece looks pretty good, compared to the bland one colour for EVERYTHING on the standard. Also the Limited is more expensive than the standard, while not costing me any more. So it will have a higher resale value as well as standing out from the rest. The wife also reckoned that the GSX-R fairing on the S model made it look too much like a sportsbike from the front. That's not good! Oldschool Rules OK! 8) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liquidcooled Posted August 21, 2004 Share Posted August 21, 2004 yep oldschool does indeed rule. and it is rather oldschool 8) i know what you mean about the paintwork/frames being the same colour. always thought the red bandits with red frames looked naff. would look so much more classy with a gloss black frame!
