Mission: Replace the Ace!

[Thunderace]

As you all know a couple of months ago I sold the Ace (Big hi five to the Spankster for lending me a steed for the AR:) ), this of course left me with Summer passing and a massive Riding itch to scratch.

So I had a look on Fleabay and found some "interesting" bikes and nearly bought a couple of them, some of these "mechanical marvels" include........

Ain't she pretty! And she is mighty quick!:smt040:smt040:smt040

[Fallout]

I think they look quite cool and unique, which is a plus. I've read plenty of reviews slagging them off, but some people reckon they'll be classics of the future due to their comparative rarity.

[Thunderace]

It is odd looking but it grows on you and she is lovely to ride!:smt040

[Wideboy]

[Thunderace]

Interesting looking bike.

Thanks.......I think????:confused:;)

[Skybaba]

Thanks.......I think????:confused:;)

:-) :-D

I thought the front looked like a curvy pointy (or a pointy curvy).

:-) :-D

[squirrel_hunter]

Having ridden one more than once and taken it on track I think its a very nice bike and a good choice.

Every now and again I find myself looking at prices on eBay...

Out of interest what year model is it?

[Thunderace]

Out of interest what year model is it?

Its a 2009 model.

[squirrel_hunter]

Have you tried the slipper clutch yet?

[Thunderace]

Nope.

[Tomor]

Well get out on it then!!!

[Thunderace]

Only picked it up today, not ragged it yet, thought it best not to drop a gear brake traction and bin it on the first day, although the slipper must work as I didn't have as much drama on the downshifts as I did riding Marks bike.

[dirtydog]

Its, erm, interesting looking that's for sure

[NTECUK]

Cool choice .
Be good to see what its like in the flesh . If EAR do a ride that I can make might do ,Or if you drop south for TOGMIE .

That's because you've clearly brought a girls bike you woos! Fairing, slipper clutch, predictable handling you are going soft in your old age! That said the thou does have some sort of back torque clutch wizardry which supposedly does slipper clutch stuff just in a less girly manner.

Oh and you do realise you are now likely to be responsible for Jammy turning into a purple smudge on a tree somewhere as he has now got first refusal on my bike when I finally get rid.

[Mauler]

That is some funky front disc!

Nice bike overall though, not seen one of those before!

[Jammy]

'as he has now got first refusal on my bike when I finally get rid.'

oh myyyyyyyy

[Matt-EUC]

Looks mean. And those brakes look as though they'd throw you over the bars before you even think about touching the lever.

[Fallout]

That's what I thought, but there's only 1 disc! :o

[Matt-EUC]

Oh, I though it had twin discs like most other buells.

[Fallout]

No, it's a budget bike. tehehehehe.

[NTECUK]

As its a harley in a pretty frock,does that mean your growing a beer gut and matching dennim?

[The Idle Biker]

NTECUK is right. Piece of posing ****. Beer guts are for Ducati owners as well though.

Have to change his name now to Mr Orange County. ;-)

[dirtydog]

So do we all get a shot on it then?

[Thunderace]

Bloody piece of **** American junk!:smt091

Had a small under seat fire last week! So she's back in the dealers getting fixed! I'm thinking 'bout changing her for something Japanese, Z1000, Z750 maybe?

Now remember folks, nobody laugh. This is no laughing matter. We should show restraint and not in any way laugh at this unfortunate incident. There... I've done my best.

[Thunderace]

Cheers Mark!:rolleyes:

[Tomor]

Hahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahhaahhahahahahahahh ahahahahahahhhahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahaha hahhahaha. Was it due to the fuel overflow pipe?

[dirtydog]

:laughat::laughat::laughat::laughat::laughat:

[Spank86]

Well nobody ever saw that coming.

Why not buy a 1970's triumph next for more reliability?

[Fallout]

Why break down when you can catch on fire?

[DJ123]

Wildkid has a Z1000

[NTECUK]

I know your pain .i still need to fix the ZX6....

[Thunderace]

Wildkid has a Z1000

But he rides it like an old lady!:rolleyes:

[Spank86]

But he rides it like an old lady!:rolleyes:
Whereas you ride like your ass is on fire.


Now we know why.
