Wonder how long peeps are gonna keep writing about the Bird before they get used to the idea that it's simply the best all rounder there is :roll)

All that and it must have been a duff one they tested, only 162mph though the speed trap :| that's the slowest one has ever been tested according to all the different tests I've got in me anorak file :roll)
I like the motorway part "a very pleasant place to be" exactly what I think , I was never happy on a bike on a motorway until I had the bird, just feels so safe somehow.
95% of all Harley Davidsons ever made are still on the road... the other 5% made it home.

This must be the wildest site on the web.

Someone posts a useful bit of info and the next 20 pages are full of ruthless attacks on everone else. (Taz seems to be the prime target but has a good stock of counter attacks)

Are we in danger of clogging up Cyber Space with "Smilies", "other Emotions", "A$$holes", "845T1D5", "Fookers", etc????

Chrixx (aka Christopher James Maybury, Chris Maybury, Silly Olde Fart, Etc. on other sites)

Yer, the name has been a problem for years, just too long to fit on some forms using BLOCK LETTERS.

I am still learning to do Joined-up-writing.

You lot crease me up.................

I appreciate that your a biased bunch being that this is a BlackBird forum but if you're going to post a details of a bike test at least post the whole thing and not just the bits that only say good things about the Bird!

You omit to mention statements such as "The brakes give up if pushed to hard"........

We all know how good the Bird is 'cos we all own and ride one, but if the truth be known the 1100xx got is arse kicked in most departments aside from comfort and economy. However, for the age of it's design it stood up well.

So here's the WHOLE story...............prepare to want the ZX!
