Guzzirider Posted September 30, 2005 Share Posted September 30, 2005 Did it last night but being at work couldn't save the picture allready scourced Ryans post ( yes I'm that sad) to one last november on Vintage Japanese Forum , Why aren't they in the shops by now? Oh I forgot I don't go into Harley dealerships. THis is a good as time as any to dig out my " Two Fatboys together " photograph If you're really lucky will take another at the NEC. Reminds me its Time to grow my winter coat. And must make sure the Guzzi T shirt is more prominent. 61762[/snapback] Ha Ha! another secret Fatboy lover Mine is being assembled tomorrow. I hope I won't get in the way of too many hyperfast Guzzis when it arrives. Guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But there is a strange attraction towards the Road King, It's probably gravitational. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badmotogoozer Posted September 30, 2005 Share Posted September 30, 2005 i cannot tell you how frustrating is to be stuck behind four or five of those bikes doing about 60 on those backroads, IT'S UNNERVING!! 61761[/snapback] I don't know what you're talking about...

Martin Barrett Posted September 30, 2005 Share Posted September 30, 2005 I don't know what you're talking about... 61771[/snapback] I like the way he's using the whole road to improve his view around the corner to see the oncoming traffic. All he needs to do is tighten his line to regain his side of the road Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

v50man Posted October 1, 2005 Author Share Posted October 1, 2005 Was it AN OMEN? I took a ride outside of Atlanta this morning -- specifically on a route that would take me by Stone Mountain Harley-Davidson -- where dreamy Buell XB12R are housed in abundance. Blow past the well-hidden (tucked away off the main) dealership -- see it only as I am passing it -- so I go a few miles north as I"m in no hurry. Ugly scenery, so I look for a place to turn around and head back toward the dealer. On my left is a small shopping center with few cars in the lot -- and a couple of Hogs. I leisurely take a left across traffic -- do a lazy U-turn around the lot -- and as I approach the exit to the main thoroughfare at about 2 mph my front wheel starts sliding to the left as if on ice. Bike goes down. What the f*ck happened? Turns out a cheap sign made of plastic blew into my path and as the bike was leaned slightly to the right -- acted as a sled and took it right down. Freaky. Just as freaky, a few seconds after I go down -- bewildered and pissed -- a Harley guy pulls into the parking lot and offers help. He saw from a stoplight and said there was nothing that could be done -- just plain bad luck. As we are speaking, the owner of one of the shops in the center (in full Harley regalia) comes out and offers help. We right the bike -- see no real damage except a snapped off brake pedal (and I use the HELL out of my rear brake) -- a busted bar-end mirror -- and a slightly scuffed valve cover guard. Both guys were very nice. The guy who rode up first and helped couldn't stop looking at the bike and smiling once we had righted it. "Beautiful" he kept saying. Anyway -- at first I thought this would be a clear bolt of lightning coming from the sky telling me to stay away from Buells -- stop being such an infidel. But then these damn Harley guys -- the ones I laugh at frequently -- came by and were genuinely concerned and helpful. I rode directly home and parked -- in no mood to look at bikes and not enjoying the Goose with just the front brakes -- and skipped the motorcycle shopping for the day. The night before, however, I had a few drinks and -- whilst the sweet little redhead slept -- I put a bid in on a white XB9R with only 400 miles on it on ebay. Was I punished -- or rewarded -- today? It keeps getting weirder and weirder -- but not weird enough for me yet.......... v50 the infidel who haunts Staedtler on a nightly basis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
