Mission: Replace the Ace!
 
5 Attachment(s)
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........

and......

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1811676232...84.m1438.l2648

also......

but in the end I treated myself to something a little nicer, so GMers and fellow Organs, guess what???

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.

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

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

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?

Have you tried the slipper clutch yet?

Nope.

Well get out on it then!!!

Re: Mission: Replace the Ace!
 
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.

Re: Mission: Replace the Ace!
 
Its, erm, interesting looking that's for sure

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.

That is some funky front disc!

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

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

Re: Mission: Replace the Ace!
 
That's what I thought, but there's only 1 disc! :o

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

No, it's a budget bike. tehehehehe.

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. ;-)

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.

Well nobody ever saw that coming.

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