OUCH!
hahaha oh my. even the mirror has to be held together by sticky tape. surprising that the paint's still intact where the dent is. what exactly happened?
-
@Lindsey did Bryan get to take his bike home at the end of the day, or does @Sam still have it?
Your wing mirror is looking a bit sorry for itself.
@louisbosco if you want to do the S1000RR thing, then get the HP4 Race when it comes out. You might have to sell both kidneys to afford it…
The kid on the Iron Heart bike is very cute.
-
i remember you showing me that before. i also remember that it costs about the same as the h2r.
-
I can safely say my bike is with ME
Had a great experience at Ironheart yesterday (even though Paula's cup of tea never materialised ;)) and will certainly be back down for some other bits….. and a cuppa.
-
@bryaneidins70 - it was great to see you.
I am so embarrassed I completely forgot your tea
- I do apologise! I hope my poor hospitality won't stop you from visiting us again in the future, [url=https://www.ironheart.co.uk/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=10500]@Sam will never forgive me! -
You looked busy yesterday Paula. I wil most definitely be back down.

@bryaneidins70 I'm glad to hear that your bike remained in your possession. It's a nice looking machine, and I've got a soft spot for the Boxers. Sorry to hear that @Madame Buttonfly didn't supply you with tea, though.
@Sam did you make it to Alton? We need
bike pornphotos of the Racer!@louisbosco I thought that I'd posted it before. Ah well, never hurts to have a second viewing.
-
@louisbosco he had a little dispute with a massive metal animal transporter trailer. Needless to say, he lost
-
@bryaneidins70 we'll make you all of the tea next time you visit…all of it! Although we've run out today so @Sam is sad & beverageless
-
With the Luis Moto tank strap. I think with some time and sun the color difference will mellow. I just need some better weather now.
-
That looks great @summ3rhays !
-
@bryaneidins70 some serious magic had been worked on your jeans by @Giles. We'll get them sent out to you asap
-
Oooooo… I love a bit of magic.
-
One for @louisbosco, though I suspect that he's already seen it: BMW M4 GTS vs S1000RR
Sticking with BMW crotch rockets a second, Cycle World's list of notable new gear includes the Spidi Warrior 2 Wind Pro Suit, which would sit will with the Motorrad racing colours. It's also one of the few sets of off-the-shelf leathers that don't induce a migraine.
For those with more traditional tastes, here's a new retro jacket from BKS. It'll fall into the "reassuringly expensive" category.
-
I like the jacket. The reassuringly experience part… not so much.
-
@summ3rhays I think that the BKS jackets are around £2000! Although that's about
$2.39$2450 at current post-Brexit exchange rates.The suit price is fairly similar, though they go up quite rapidly with extras. It's not a cheap pastime, but definitely worth it if you fall off…

@MP:
…..I haven't had a chance to ride a Roadster yet, but that's the other Harley on the list. The Triumph Bobber is another interesting proposition, which should be on sale soon. I sat on one at Moto Expo and it felt pretty comfortable.
I traded in my street triple last October for the Roadster. The street triple was a thief magnet, my first one got stolen after 10 weeks and the replacement had thee new ignition barrels after theft attempts in three years. Also the battery was a pain for draining after a few days not riding. The Harley has had no tampering whatsoever. I think the keyless ignition, alarm and immobiliser makes then not worth the hassle of theft when locked up to something solid. No issues at all in the months since buying it and now has a natty Roland sands exhaust and rough crafts air filter fitted (as well as a new seat to replace the very uncomfortable stock seat). Harley's are very reliable these days and the only downside (on the wallet) is the massive amount of aftermarket parts available; you can personalise/modify/upgrade them to your heart's content.

@MP if you're in Melbourne, City Triumph in Abbotsford had a few Bobbers on display last time I dropped by.
I haven't heard of any reliability problems with the new Bonneville range. My Thruxton has started first time whenever I've taken it out, which hasn't been much recently because I'm waiting for a new pair of glasses to arrive.
If you're local, give me a shout if you want to take a look at the bike.
