Moderator Cynic Posted March 12, 2017 Moderator Share Posted March 12, 2017 Went out with the daughter yesterday, not the most auspicious start as the first stop was for fuel just outside the next village. And my wallet was in my normal jeans I had changed out of, Doh, daughter had to wait there while I went back. Think I'm going to be hearing about that one for a while. Otherwise got out did some of the better bike roads with some high speed stuff then turned off into the back country, old 16th century villages and single track roads around the edge of the county working back. Only around 60 miles but with the country stuff (some 10mph) we were out maybe 3 hours all told and we were both suffering with numb backsides by the time we pulled up at home. The TDR seat is hardly FJ quality and with little room to move about it gets a bit uncomfortable. Will soon toughen back up with a few more rides. Was good to be out. Warm sun, crisp air, perfect. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slice Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 Nice one mate, how did she get on? And was she on the "new" bike? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator Cynic Posted March 12, 2017 Author Moderator Share Posted March 12, 2017 Lol, her 'new' bike is still in bike hospital. She was on the back, has done for a couple of years now, she has enough experience now that apart from allowing for her weight on the bike (have to be careful there) I can just get on with riding. She can handle full power acceleration and braking, just flicking from left to right takes care but I'm being really picky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

finnerz89 Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 Must be why there's not many around - they've probably all ended up in hedges! Just shows how much potential there is with strokers Sent from my E6553 using Tapatalk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator Cynic Posted March 12, 2017 Author Moderator Share Posted March 12, 2017 Nah, 38hp is proper licence territory and not many 'real' bikers want to ride a 125. They don't understand the rush of a stroker that powerful, or want to put the effort in to keep it buzzing. 38bhp, that's nearly 320bhp/litre, makes an R1's 175 sound pretty limp. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
