Featured Tiger 900 - First Ride

Exactly Andy. I wanted super simple, few toys (more to go wrong) and a proven unburstable engine, so settled on the 650 VStrom. Actually even the VStrom is too sophisticated with its 2 spark plugs per cylinder nonsense

 

Give him a chance to ride the one he's got first,Sandi.

 

Yes I agree. It's getting like cars these days, they are building them for people who can't drive. People who can't park or set off on a hill etc etc, makes me laugh.

 

Your right Andy.

For me all these new fangle gadgets rider assist things take a lot of enjoyment out of riding.
Give me a classic bike any day, you’ve got to think about what your doing,they’re more engaging to ride

 

I am actually surprised, no one mentioned this bike yet...

It is a beautiful machine in my personal view and it gets great reviews.

(Pls let us not start about what shite bikes the Italians build. We have already chewed on this enough with the Americans, the Brits and the Germans and the only shite things, we have to get done with, is Zoppo Trump* and Corona...)

And this time, I will NOT delete this.

*Zoppo Trump is the well known leader of the mean underground-dwelling Trump-Tribe and adversary of King Kallewirsch, whom he plans to overthrow from his throne...

See minute 03:20 (This first went on-air in November 1970!)

 

Luckily Steve I’ve got both as others have on here

Nearest cafe needing attention

Ridden plenty of classics for 100 miles around the Peak District without a hiccup

 

That’s a beautiful bike Daniel, especially in the red and white

 

Excellent point and an even better suggestion, SprinterII. I get a little overzealous once in a while.

 

OK I’ll play along

At this so called cafe do they serve coffees in a glass

 

And with a little heart in the froth ?

 

Andy we’re talking coffee here not beer

Don’t tell me that some cafes serve coffee with froth

 

Ok then, technical term is crema, savvy ?

 

Still using WW2 Camp chicory and carnation round ere.

 

Don't they drink that fancy Gold Blend down south where posh Steve Lovatt Lives like they advertise on telly ?

 

Well I had to google crema mate,everyday’s a school day on here

It was only the other week that I found out on here that you can get coffee served in a glass,,,what’s wrong with a mug
