Blue rinse

you are not under the illusion that the bird is a good looking bike are ya?

good fooking bike :thumbsup) , but surly not good looking, looks crap from the side,

but eh, was designed for a purpose, things have moved on since the bird was designed.

I have had 3 Birds, didnt buy any of them for their looks, infact they all looked the same,
if I was buying on what I thought looked good, would never have bought one,
but then I rode one, different tale lol

forums + press = a lot of wooly

your kawaka, never heard them slated for their looks FFS, did it put you off, naaaaah

beauty is in the cod eye of the beholder :shock)

I still cant get me head round not having a clutch :shock)

Not only will you not look a cooont when you stall it in front of your mates but how the fook do you do an emergency stop
relying on a puter to take it out of gear while you grab an handfull... I would imagine it can only do it by the book but personally
I prefer to be in control and have a bit of feel... pointless being a riding god if the the thing does it all for you :P

I still havent come to terms with linked brakes yet so what chance have i got :D

I still want a ride tho pal :thumbsup) :mrgreen:

...Same as when yer on scooter - which is quite apt... :twisted)

...Close throttle - progressively apply front brake - followed by measured, supporting application of rear brake.

...That's how they teach the "learners" when they're doing their CBT's... :roll) :mrgreen:
