Had a nifty fifty when I was just out of school, all the girls loved it to my surprise and delight! I thought I would be hated and mocked on a scooter, was quite a good buzz. Go the fifty! :D

we interrupt this program to bring you a special bulletin, which may or may not be anything to do with hair dresser cars, although, it can be safely said, that a hair dresser was definitely involved in the making of this video
kaymay --Ive got bad news for ya. The metrosexual person has moved into motorbikes--Did do a few years back. They come in two groups. The first has one of the latest sprot bikes He is careful that his leather power ranger suit perfectly matches his bike and has a helmet that cordinates with it.Thanks to google he has the latest fashion in tyres -well suited to the lead riders in motogp. The other kind has a carefully manicured beard. He wears black leathers and cowboy boots. often a black open face helmet. His bike of choice is a Hoggly doggley or a Treyumph.His "badge is normally a patch saying live to ride. But get close and you smell the latest in colone overlaying the smell of new leathers.

1++ - you missed that these two groups invariably can't ride and are the cause of the recent rise in "middle aged" bike fatalities and serious injuries.

In fairness I've heard conversations between said middle aged folk. They grew up in the triumph age or the slightly younger guys in the days when a GSX1100,CB900 boldor was utter king of the road They seem to think that because they used to ride big bikes they can trow a leg over the latest gsxr/r1/cbr thou and fang it. Trouble isthey have got slower ,the bikes have gotten a LOT faster and have better brakes/handling. These guys dig themselves deep in a hole.

MGF, though I will admit I wouldn't say no to owning one. Of course I'd rather use the money for a BGT.
PS Metro riders own Suzuki Gladius's lol.(says the man who owns a Bonneville)

i have seen more hairy bikers in gay parades than driving MX5's so from that we can conclude that bikers are gay

I had the bold'or, so must be slightly younger.Top heavy, quite easy to tip in a bit much, p1ss poor stopping, and my mates katana was quicker.I wouldn't go near a modern road bike for exactly the reasons you give - I'd end up a blood splot in the grill of something oncoming.
early MR2, triumph herald (or stag) and new beetle for the metro barber.

There hasn't been a gay parade in New Zealand since the 2001 Auckland Hero Parade. Unless he went overseas, there's none to attend.

In 1981, 82an unmodified Katana 1100 could do a low 10 sec 1/4 (i have the slip somewhere) and do well over 200kph.Today a Busa, ZX14 (same size bike) will do a smidge under 10 if ya good. I dont think its the speed so much as the way they handle alot better and if you were used to man handling a big arsed Banana around the place then jump on a new feather weight sport bike and through it around in the first corner you tend to get a wee fright alright. And of course the brakes are more aggresive as well and will toss you off as well. And as you said the old reflex isnt what it used to be either. And the attitude of " ive been ridin since before you were in nappies boy"

I thought a katana was a japanese sword !
