What, you mean I'm not gonna get 8 or 9k out of my rear tyres anymore....????
Seriously, the guy at the shop where I bought the bus from laughed when I said I'd be happy with 5k from the rear and said, quote "If you get more than 5k from the rear, I'll pay for your next set of tyres"
So, guess I'll be doing the first 5k at 20mph then......Like f**k I will
As for build quality, the bus has some really nice touches, check out the head stock, its a work of engineering genious, its not a Honda though so I accept that the engine isnt as bullet proof as the bb, but providing I look after it, it will last me longer than I want to keep it. I presume when talking about living by the sea and rust, you were refering to the kwak, in which case, I agree with you. Again, its all about how you look after your bike, my bb's still at Motografix, take a look at that, its been stood for 3 months and looks like its been neglected all its life, all the ally's corroded etc. etc.
As for the 'my dads bigger than your dads' argument on the 200mph site, I aree with you all, what a set of :knob) s
s asshole s :cockhole) s
Just remember,
is where your 'Bird' is.......
