Bikers' Banter

Good day out.

Not too many people.

Got free coffee and treats at Kawasaki (knew someone that worked there)

Had £20 voucher for food (had to add to it, as there was 2of us)

Loved the new Blade
Would like a Tiger 1200 under the tree

Flat footed all the adventure bikes (cos I can)

But didn’t enter any competitions, because they all used QR codes, and I’d forgotten my phone!


Will go again in another 3 years

I can flat foot all those too....... just not with both feet at the same time !!!! Lot's of nice new Bikes but what Prices are they ? The Triumph must be £14000-£15000 and the Depreciation will be savage..... New Busa's lose @ £4000 in the first year now which is silly. You can buy a decent second hand bike for £4000 and It'll still be worth that years later.

Just been reading an MCN review of the new Triumph Tiger 1200..... Sounds a great bike, from £14600 - £19100.....

Yep, £17,000 then add the trimmings


If I won the lottery, I’d buy one

It's mad init !!!! i'm still not riding the MT or the Z in the wet yet for fear of getting them dirty ....... would people pay all that money and take then off road or through a winter ?

I don’t know. Maybe

If you paid that for the new blade (beautiful), you probably wouldn’t, but for something like the Tiger, you possibly would.

I certainly would. I’ve always found a few nice days during the winter that made it worthwhile getting the bike out.

Same here, I went out earlier as the weather was good but they have salted a lot of roads, so I came home and am now washing Puk...... then out again as the Sun is doing it's best to dry the roads.

My lane is in slippery mode with the last of the dead leaves coming down now, but as from tomorrow I have an empty calendar, so hoping for some drier days and a potter round on the Kawasaki.
Might plug in my heated vest
