Sacha Posted August 4, 2014 Posted August 4, 2014 There's a new baby in my family. Not sure what I was thinking buying a brand new bike, but hey, at least the previous owner hasn't messed it up! I didn't think I wanted a bobber, but she's a dream to ride and I had to have her. 2
obriens65 Posted August 4, 2014 Posted August 4, 2014 That's a very good looking addition to the family. 1
Moderator DirtyDT Posted August 4, 2014 Moderator Posted August 4, 2014 I don't have a clue what it is bit it looks good. V engine too. 1
Ttaskmaster Posted August 4, 2014 Posted August 4, 2014 I don't have a clue what it is bit it looks good. V engine too. Clues: 1/. This is the Yamaha Owners Forum. 2/. This has been posted with not a *shred* of shame. 3/. It says Star on the airbox. 4/. It says Bolt on the tank. 5/. Sash says it's a brand new bike. Deductions: 1 - It might well be a Yamaha. 2 - It is almost CERTAINLY a Yamaha!! 3 - It is one of the Star range of Cruisers. 4 - It's probably a Yamaha Bolt (XVS950). 5 - It's a brand new Yamaha Bolt. Fucking wicked bike Sash!!! I wouldn't mind a go myself!!
Moderator DirtyDT Posted August 4, 2014 Moderator Posted August 4, 2014 To be fair I did look at the picture in sunlight on my iPhone, no luxury of a big PC screen when I am at work.
Moderator DirtyDT Posted August 4, 2014 Moderator Posted August 4, 2014 As as for the first clue ttaskie, it might be a yami forum but some of us have other bikes too. Sod it I might go out now and buy a Honda!!
slice Posted August 4, 2014 Posted August 4, 2014 That is a beautiful machine Sacha really must be pleased with your new baby, just gotta pay for it now!!! DT I had no idea what it was either just looked damned good tho. If you have to buy another one buy a Triumph now they are just as reliable as the Honda's and such. Plus Jimmy and Bippo will be pleased to have another big "T" on the site. PS to be fair to DT I had to go back and look a 2nd time and STAR is the same colour as the surround and BOLT is in fact LT at the end. 1
Sacha Posted August 4, 2014 Author Posted August 4, 2014 Hahaha! Guess I could've clued you in. Great eyes Ttaskmaster if you could make all that out from my shitty pic. Come on by anytime and take her for a spin. You're right on the money too. Its the Yamaha bolt.
Ttaskmaster Posted August 4, 2014 Posted August 4, 2014 To be fair I did look at the picture in sunlight on my iPhone, no luxury of a big PC screen when I am at work. I have an old 3.5" Android screen... You open the pic and reverse-pinch the image to enlarge it, then pan around. I knew exactly what it was anyway, but still had a nosey! As as for the first clue ttaskie, it might be a yami forum but some of us have other bikes too. Sod it I might go out now and buy a Honda!! Clue 1 merely raises suspicion. Clue 2 confirms it. The rest only feed further information. Read more Christie and get them 'leetle grey cells' working!!
Moderator DirtyDT Posted August 4, 2014 Moderator Posted August 4, 2014 Technology and use of grey cells. Those days are over now and I have turned into my old granddad Sacha - it looks fab on the big screen. I wouldn't mind one myself to be honest.
oldtimer Posted August 4, 2014 Posted August 4, 2014 OLD your only a youngster DDT ,having said that I feel 90 after a 800 mile journey from hamburg got home last night and am still walking like John Wayne. Sacha. Nice bike enjoy and stay safe looks more comfortable than mine 1
Sacha Posted August 4, 2014 Author Posted August 4, 2014 Thanks gents! It's way more comfy than hubby's pillion seat! So thankful for that. Would eventually like to do something along Hageman's lines... Afraid I wouldn't be able to touch the ground though.
