ChrisBHull Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 Just a photo of my baby. Not new. Not shiney. Some rust. Many miles on the clock. But when I compare to my dads 2015 CB500X,which is a very nice bike by the way, it feels more motorbikey. Love at first sight! She does come in a touring mode with a top box and panniers and hand guards. But I like this look the most! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisBHull Posted January 5, 2017 Author Share Posted January 5, 2017 Can't beat a sunny day up at seaways The only problem with that place is it can be cliquey. If you don't ride a 1300 BMW some of them don't have the time of day to chat. Some of the old timers have a good story to tell though.

Stu Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 Yes I agree When I used to go up on the TL1000s Everyone would talk to me Now I have an FJR1300 only weird touring type people bother! I'm not good enough for the sports bike boys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisBHull Posted January 5, 2017 Author Share Posted January 5, 2017 Seems like there is a bit of banter here! I'm sure everyone here is nice. Seem to have been very welcoming so far!

ThePhatomfart Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 I've never understood why bikers get so sectarian about bikes, they've all got 2 wheels and a seat, I personally enjoy trying to get any sort of bike to work , whether its a FZ50 , Chinese or Fireblade , their all unique and I get a lot of satisfaction from seeing them working, I know a lot of it is friendly banter but some "bikers" do look down their nose at other Manufacturer's , and somebody's bound to say "yes but you've never rode a .." , that don't matter their all the same, and during my time I've rode a lot of bike's.

(waits for the barrage) I'd agree, but would go further and say that I don't see the need for tribal/blanket hatred between groups of road users - be it cyclists, car drivers, motorcyclists etc. They're all people, all entitled to use the road, and until proven otherwise I'll assume they're all idiots! Same for everything though - road bikers rarely acknowledge mountain bikers, and on my touring/commuting bike it's 50/50 as to whether I'll get a nod from Serious Business cyclists in lycra!

Six30 Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 BMW,s are very expensive ( over priced ) so obviously the owners are much much richer than us peasants and far superior, and a GS rider with all the extras fitted actually wears a crown when he's indoors .

ChrisBHull Posted January 6, 2017 Author Share Posted January 6, 2017 Thats not a bad idea! Hornsea is my goto destination for a first drive/ride out in a new vehicle. Every car and every bike has gone there the day Ive purchased them. Not a bad little run out if you go via Withernsea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
