Title: "Pop Quiz"
Post by: ST2UP on April 10, 2013, 02:59:11 PM
Had a small play on a mates new bike today......and couldn't wait to get off the bloody bike, was the most uncomfortable riding position of any of the say 30-40 Motorcycles I have ridin in the last 30 odd years. Now this is NOT to bash my good mates decision, he is very happy with his new wheels, suits his riding style in every way he tells me.

So I'm 6ft tall & 105 kg's

The bike:      - Current model
                    - start in the low $20,000 for base model
                    - Sports/Touring category
                    - < 1000cc

Pop Quiz......What did I ride ??

 Marcus, I have a suspicious feeling you were following me today.......anyway your close enough.

It was quiet an unpleasant experience.....thought I wouldn't say that about any bike.....leaning forward with heaps of weight down on the bars, feet tucked up under my bum and gonads they may never return, and the wine of that belt drive......yuk !!

Anyway good guess Marcus


Cheers

Friends of ours ride a spyder. Followed her around a roundabout one day..... Holy cow she struggled to get it around and it looked like it was going to tip...

They look dangerous to me...

I was on a Spuder test ride, and a rider with pillion left the road and nearly hit a pole while just taking a gentle roundabout. You have to unlearn how to 'ride'
