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. Smile

 

Not really busy but still plenty there...

First notable bike I spotted was this Smile  Moto Guzz V85 TT

 

[attachment=o14263]

 

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

 

[attachment=o14261]

 

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

Nice ride out SR

 

A silver MV Augusta Turismo Veloce will be present at the Cook - if Boris says OK.

 

PS they go well - the rear LED indicators are prone to failure dur to water ingress & LED No plate light fails too.

Italian innit. Lol  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.

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. Huh  It's actually a foot lever near the rear brake lever.  :unsure2:

I'm liking the elastic band idea more!



Still, it looks pretty damn cool.

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'....
Lock onto my co-ordinates and beam me up !!

04 900 - 92 mk 1 - r 1150 rs - Z550 A1 - 2x bonnies - plastic slug -XL185 - ...not in that order !! (and one or two i don't want / dare to own up to !!)
