A Pootle To Squires Bikers Cafe - Studley Ramrod - 13-06-2021
Thought I'd take the twisty route to the biking mecca Squires for a sausage cob and a coffee. Tagged on to the back of some guy on a Triumph and had a spirited ride over there. 150 miles in total and 56mpg.
Â
Not really busy but still plenty there...

First notable bike I spotted was this
 Moto Guzz V85 TTÂ

Â
Strolled over to where the Kawasaki fans had congregated....not one but two ZRX1100's

Â
Then spotted this beauty. MV Augusta Turismo Veloce....niiiice. Not that I'll ever own one, the seat height is huge.
 That and the price tag.

Nice ride out SR
Â
A silver MV Augusta Turismo Veloce will be present at the Cook - if Boris says OK.
Â
PS they go well - the rear LED indicators are prone to failure dur to water ingress & LED No plate light fails too.

Italian innit.
 If that's all that fails then it's a success eh. I was lusting for one after seeing one online but the seat height is about level with my chest. lol It looks like a small-ish bike in the photo but it's not at all in reality.A Pootle To Squires Bikers Cafe - dapleb - 13-06-2021
Lubbly...it do sound loike you mighta tried gettin on that boike SR? .... It's godda trellis frame to climb up.
A Pootle To Squires Bikers Cafe - Studley Ramrod - 13-06-2021
 It also has a parking brake, I kid ye not.A Pootle To Squires Bikers Cafe - dapleb - 13-06-2021
That's not such a bad idea I guess...but summat else to go wrong...is it an elastic band around the brake lever?
A Pootle To Squires Bikers Cafe - Studley Ramrod - 13-06-2021
Yeah, it's part of the safety cut out system so prolly will go wrong at some point. Not an elastic band, he used spaghetti.
 It's actually a foot lever near the rear brake lever. :unsure2:A Pootle To Squires Bikers Cafe - dapleb - 13-06-2021
I'm liking the elastic band idea more!
Still, it looks pretty damn cool.

A Pootle To Squires Bikers Cafe - Studley Ramrod - 13-06-2021

A friend has an MV TV,his first proper bike. First thing to fail was the indicators (rear)...forgotten what they cost, but remember sucking my teeth! I think the looks are marmite, and a bit "form over function". Nice tho'....

Those Guzzi TTs are smart, do like them ðð
