XmisterIS Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 I had a Naga last night. I'm just about to head out on the road, and I'm telling you I might well have to dive off the bike while scrabbling at my belt buckle and shouting, "Oh God! Oh God! It's coming out!"

Fozzie Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 His bike barely did 50mph when he bought it... It has an unofficial speed of 201mph. It was timed but wasnt an official run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
