...what would they have bought? Would they even have a bike? They're such a bunch of cockwombling image-obsessed morons I suppose they would have bought whatever's ridden by some other wobbling publicity whore, e.g. that sad pikey Beckham. I'd rather they had a fake retro Triumph scrambler instead of a 12 foot wide set of panniers - at least they'd cause fewer traffic jams and create some jobs in the UK. ____________________ Current bike: K1100RS.

Look turd-brain, I had mine when Mcgregor was in nappies. I got my 1100GS in '94 and didn't see another for a year. ____________________ Current bike: K1100RS.

They used to buy a 916, presumably because it was in pop videos and The Matrix. It was hilarious watching them trying to commute. The crash repairs were great business for the dealers. ____________________ Current bike: K1100RS.

What about those people who buy bikes that they see being raced on the track or in movies or local plod ride or Che rode or Lampkin rode/rides ?
Am I super cool because I ride a bike that everyone called a pig and said was ugly?

In your expert opinion, what should they be riding then? |
Recman, a Euan Mcgregor wannabe is someone who wants to be Euan Mcgregor. I'm merely commenting on how he made the GS fashionable. And how people are influenced by marketing rather than an honest assessment of the bikes which meet their needs. I find it absurd that people want a trans-Sahara spec GS or a Triumph Scrambler to commute on because of something they saw in the Sunday Times magazine. I don't really care what they ride, the fact that they buy any bike is good for all of us because it boosts the trade, but I reserve the right to be scornful because they're so shallow, so easily led. No doubt they'd all be struggling with a giant KTM if McGregor had been sponsored by KTM, who were his first choice. ____________________ Current bike: K1100RS.

An informed choice is based on test rides and reviews. A daft, shallow, muppet's choice is based on celeb endorsement. ____________________ Current bike: K1100RS.
