It's been dry today and relatively warm for the time of year, so I took the bike out for a couple of hours this afternoon - just to keep it ticking over you understand!

As I was leaving, the other half said "No thrashing it on the motorway!" So of course I didn't go on the motorway. Angelic

But I did discover that even my little 250 has a fair bit of poke in second gear when racing chavs in kitted-up Fiestas off the traffic-light line on the East Lancs..... Twisted Evil

As you know, I am normally a sensible "old lady" kind of rider, so I was a bit surprised how much I enjoyed doing that - especially as I won by quite a long stretch! Laughing

Does this mean that I will be trading in my nice comfy Eliminator for a daft sports 2-stroke any time now do you think? Or does it just prove that even cruisers can be fun 'cos it's still a bike...... Question

It's still a bike and if you play the gearings right it can only mean fun!

Of course if you had a pokey 2 stroke you would be in heaven, your adrenaline levels would be so high. Laughing

I can even have fun on my scooter beating novas and fiestas off the lights. Only to about 25 - 30 mph tho, when the power in the shitty cars finally kicks in, they can leave me Mad

But when I get my mini mafayre 850 with a cooper 1300 lump in it Wink

Then no mofo will stand a chance Twisted Evil

One day you will come across ponce's in Porches who try to accelerate away.
You will drop a gear, pull out from behind them and wave as you roar off into the distance.
