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!! :shakeno:

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.

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.
