weimieman Posted September 15, 2011 Posted September 15, 2011 How can people drive a "wing" and feel superior? I was at Box Hill a loooooong time ago and a wing went to go around a mini roundabout that was on a camber. It ground out on its side, both wheels came off the ground and it fell over. Not good. OG - You are a bad man. Its the only bike I can scrape a peg on as it's so low! Like I said previously, I'm no hero!!

CMOORE35 Posted September 16, 2011 Posted September 16, 2011 Im going to be getting a honda 250 after the first of the year from a friend of mine. Just needs brake service and a new tach and it will be ready to ride. That will be my commuting bike around town while the Yam400 im rebuilding will be the show bike around the area. Can't wait to see some pics Kishan.

NEV Posted September 19, 2011 Posted September 19, 2011 How can people drive a "wing" and feel superior? I was lucky enough to be around when the Gold Wing first came out, it wer'nt all fairing and king and queen seat, as they are today, as nice as they are. but give me one of these anyday, a mate of mine bought one brand new in 79, banged a sidecar on it and rode for about 6 months on 'L' plates, till he passed his test,( you could in those days,) his was exactly the same as the one in the pic, but black and gold, now apparently its in bits in boxes somewhere near Thetford.
Moderator Airhead Posted September 19, 2011 Moderator Posted September 19, 2011 I once had a very nice GL1100 four cylinder naked, it was a great bike and at 26 i did indeed feel like a king when out on the road

kishan Posted September 22, 2011 Author Posted September 22, 2011 change of plan to above ive been told changing the airfilter will make the piaggio engine run rough so wont be doing that and been told changing the rollers wont make it any faster so thats a waste of time
