"Adventure" bikes. What the fook is that all about then eh?
Line them all up...Crosstourer, Super Tenere, GS, Multistrada, Trumpet, the lot. Line them up, walk 50 yards or so away and what do you see? A load of identical sit up and beg, and lets be truthful, ugly and not aesthetic one bit, wire wheeled, pseudo off road for African/Icelandic trail bikes with panniers to take you to Tesco/Sainsbury/Waitrose/Lidle/Aldi (delete as necessary) designed for silly old coonts, that are too fookin old/fat/short/arthritic etc to ride a proper bike. Then listen to them salivate over how fookin fast they are, how they can keep up with this that and the other. Still in a pissing contest at your age you lot? This plorifer. proliforati, plofilera, profilera, popularity is quite distasteful really isn't it. Fukkin Ewan and Charlie fookin wannabes if you ask me. "shall we have a look up this forest track?" "Yes, we can leave the bikes in the car park, don't want to muddy the new Akro and besides, them wire wheels are such coonts to keep clean!"
Line a load of bikes up and have a look from 100 yards away.....the Blackbird and Ducati 916 will stand out and be instantly identifiable; no coont will know or care what the others are.
