How Do Others See Your Bike?

For me if you like/love your bike that is all that is important, you should just ignore what others think and enjoy it.

 

How do others see my bike....?
Usually from behind and getting smaller quickly

They usually hear it first

I get compliments, it's a unique colour scheme with eye catching led headlights

You won't see another like it and I even had a thumbs up from a Harley Davidson rider when I was waiting at lights

 

Yep the conversation always goes that way with the more senior people that stop and look at your bike. I had it on the Thursday that we rode up to Bellingham at the hotel where @crispey and @steve lovatt were staying with my street twin. An old chap in the car park thought it was an original triumph and was very surprised when I told him it was only three months old...

 

"Fugkly" is tucked up in the garage nice and warm just waiting for me to go and provide some love and attention......

 

Only on my 3rd bike, first triumph (street triple R). I was never stopped and spoken to when I had my Suzuki since getting the triumph I've been stopped in town, inside Tesco in car parks from people wanting to talk about it. The headlights are certainly marmite, I love them but my pal can't stand them so he bought a GSXR750 instead, even though he wouldn't ever see the headlights when riding

 

You want attention, buy a Tuono, every biker comes over for a chat.

Usually to check if you are mental or just brave, to actually buy one !!!

 

No way!!!! Do other companies make motorcycles? When did this happen.

 

?

 

Fugly,,,,,I remember @Dozers Dad on the Thursday evening at the bunkhouse with drink in hand you telling me about someone naming their bike Fulgy to try and deflect from what I said about that model of bike and we laughed about it

In a laughing mood I suppose it could now be called ‘Warping Fugly’

 

Na just called fugkly as I said to you in Bellingham, the warping will be fixed. I cannot believe that @Dozers Dad has been laughing behind "fugly's" back

 

No need to apologise mate, a fitting name I think.....

 

When I first saw the Speeds I thought they were fugly, slowly, incrementally every time I looked at it, it grew more attractive.
I think all the manufactures are stealing style ideas from each other, some German bikes look Jap, and some Japs look like copies, etc. etc.

 

Come on Jez we not only laughed that the name Warping Fugly was called back then so no shit stirring old lad, just the truth

 

@Dozers Dad shit stirring, surely not? The warping was only identified yesterday @Tiglet, so you must have had a cyrstal ball in Bellingham

 

Obviously not read my post so I’ll requote the part about Warping Fugly “we not only laughed that the name Warping Fugly was called back then” .
Which was Fugly.

 

No not never accused Jez of shit stirring, think the glasses have started to steam up old lad with the excitement

 

No excitement here mate. I actually like the name "fugly" which is why after your quote on the speed twin I have adopted the name. We have different views on bikes, but that is ok cause that is what makes the world go around.
