Re: What about Bikes?! Niklas L8-Aug-10 22:49 Niklas L 8-Aug-10 22:49  I ride my Triumph Daytona 675 every day to work, and to me, even the Hayabusa is a bus. You can't use it on a track day, which is the reason I have a bike. home Re: What about Bikes?! AlexCode9-Aug-10 1:35 AlexCode 9-Aug-10 1:35  Nice one you have there As for my Busa on track... it have been there, not very competitive with lighter bikes but you sure have some fun with it. I used to make 130km a day (around 30.000km a year) on it until I changed office and had a train almost door to door... it now have 65.000km and I don't think my back would have handled it on a bike with a more "racing" position Re: What about Bikes?! Niklas L9-Aug-10 2:07 Niklas L 9-Aug-10 2:07  30.000 km a year is quite impressive. I do about half I think, riding from March/April until November/December or so, depending on the weather. I only tried a Hayabusa once, when the local dealer had a sales campaign, and I was really impressed with the powerful engine. It never stopped pushing... home Re: What about Bikes?! AlexCode9-Aug-10 2:53 AlexCode 9-Aug-10 2:53  Here in Portugal/Lisbon I can ride all year. It doesn't snow so what's left is rain and wind. The rain must be very heavy to keep me in a can, what I really don't like is the wind. I need to cross a 15km windy bridge and on bad days I'm pulled and pushed sideways pretty hard. So on most years I'm able ride everyday, on worst years so far I may be forced to keep the bike at home for a week or two... I really like my bike as it lets me have different kind of riding experiences. I can do a more touring stile even with my girl on not sacrificing comfort at all as both seats are pretty big and not having to lean forward too much. On a more sporty style it goes beyond 300km/h with no real effort. Another thing is that I'm a 1.80m tall guy with 85Kg... I feel better with a bike this size bellow Anyway, this is all about riding "your" bike and feel good fantastic doing it! Re: What about Bikes?! Corporal Agarn9-Aug-10 1:11 Corporal Agarn 9-Aug-10 1:11  Well in general there are two types of "bikes", bicycles and motorcycles. When young I rode bicycles now I need something with a motor. At twice the gas mileage of my car it helps. PS: My bike is about 600 pounds and is not going to any track. Re: What about Bikes?! RedSonja9-Aug-10 20:04 RedSonja 9-Aug-10 20:04  I have a scooter for coming to work (before you laugh, I am over 50 so I am allowed to scoot). Economical, sporty, no problem parking, and saves buying a third car for the kids to drive. ------------------<;,><------------------- Re: What about Bikes?! AlexCode9-Aug-10 22:54 AlexCode 9-Aug-10 22:54  No laugh intended I also though about buying a scooter for my self along with the Hayabusa. As I stated before, I did a lot of km per day, the Busa was not the intelligent choice, more like a passion... I would have spent way less cash. Scooters are not only those 50cc vacuum-cleaners anymore, there are a lot of choices out there, and they're very nice to ride on... Re: What about Bikes?! RedSonja9-Aug-10 23:03 RedSonja 9-Aug-10 23:03  My Honda has 125cc and a top speed of 100kmh. On the way to work I can't get that fast anyway, all narrow roads and farm tracks. I love the electric starter and the automatic gearbox, twist and go. The spousal unit may laugh, but I drive it every day and he only zooms his big Honda on Sundays if it isn't raining. Yes, we have one garage just for motorbikes and my scooter. Whatever, when I arrive at work, I'm the one who is smiling. As the price of petrol goes up every year, more and more colleagues discover their old scooters and mopeds at the back of the garage. ------------------<;,><------------------- Re: What about Bikes?!

MOTORIZED bikes as in Motorcycle ! Had many cars... Dalek Dave8-Aug-10 21:20 Dalek Dave 8-Aug-10 21:20  Love Jags best. But Had MR2's, an old Porsche 911 and an Ex-police Senator. I love the power that allows for accelleration! ------------------------------------ I will never again mention that I was the poster of the One Millionth Lounge Post, nor that it was complete drivel.
