Where to Try Out a Cruiser?

[KingKong]

Hi,

Have a zx6r, but am increasingly getting curious about cruisers. Problem is I do not know anyone who owns one, and despite car dealers providing test drives, bike dealers do not.

Any where in London where I may find out about the experience of cruisers?

Definitely sounds like you've caught the gay.
I suggest you go and kill something with your bare hands and eat it to restore your manhood.

It's just a phase, let him work through it and he'll get over it and settle down with a nice Thundercat eventually.

Harley Dealers are pretty free with Test rides by all accounts.

... but do they give you a pair of ass-less chaps to complete the look ?

LOL with the gay fallacy

Perhaps it is a phase, as good old Rogerborg opined; but I can't see the correlation between cruisers/choppers and homosexuality.

I'm just curious on how they ride. Having a 'manly' super sports seems to get me flashed by SPECS, 'awarding' me 3 points (sob); I doubt one would be inclined to be a speed demon on a chopper/cruiser. Also curious whether it would be more comfy to carry pilion on them...

But hey, I love my ZX6R.

I've got a chintzy 250 cruiser sitting in the garage, and I have to tell you, it's pretty homosex.

I actually enjoy riding it (locally), but the reason you don't ride cruisers fast is because if you do, you will die and go to the Bad AIDS Hell. You can ride slowly on any bike, it's largely down to wrist action.

I can't speak to pillion comfort, my wife won't get on it, says something about not being a "fag hag", whatever that means.

So I won't discourage you from trying one, Allah loves wondrous diversity, but I'd suggest that your criteria might also be met by something like an 'adventure' stylee. A Ewan-and-Charliemobile is equally wannabe, but at least your sexual preferences won't get questioned.

Didn't you ask about the best new supersports 600 about three weeks ago?

You lot, honestly lol...

I did ask about supersports, and still love my ZX6R and wouldn't trade it in for a lousy Thundercat; Scrambler; or 'gay' cruiser. Would, however, trade it in for an R1; CBR Fireblade; Ducati 1198 (God, I love that one)...But the insurance will rape me (not to my pleasure) especially with the 3 points on its way through the post (effing SPECS ).

RogerBorg, why would one die going fast on a cruiser? and "Bad AIDS Hell"?

As I said, was curious about what cruisers rode like, and would be happy even spending 5 minutes riding one.

G - it worries me a little that you know about straight men having homosexual encounters; so much so that you even know of a website on the matter - I for one did not know any such thing was possible

They don't all have footboards and such, I did try a Kawasaki VN750 for a while and it was OK really. It didn't ground anything easily at all.
The worst thing is trying to keep them clean as they soon look shit otherwise.

In an ideal world where you could have at least two bikes to suit your mood and planned journey I wouldn't mind one.
Not good as your only bike though.

I found it was not comfortable on longer runs as you are pretty much locked in one position with more weight on your backside.
With most bikes you can shuffle about and put some weight on the pegs or even stand briefly to re-arrange your important equipment.
- not possible with feet forward pegs.
