1290 Super Duke test ride
- Thread starter Melch
- Start date
Coffee!!!??? A handful of coffee granules and a Marlboro with the filter ripped off for me (at least it would be if I smoked).
Melchior lives this morning! 
Thought after all the excitement yesterday our hero may have squeezed too many Seville's into his morning smoothie and given himself a hernia.

Good man.
I got caught in snow, sleet and torrential rain on my round trip to Hilltop today. Was worth it though.
Did you take your XR ?
How did it work out ?
Lovely lovely bike
Congratulations
Congratulations

Having done a brisk 130 miles on the Buell today, something which has only a fraction of the power of that beautiful motorcycle, I think I can safely say that I would be dead if I had one of those......You are going to need much willpower and excellent observational skills.
I fucking love your KTM and I am going to remain in denial about wanting one.
Have I mentioned that I am doubting your parentage?

Yep.
I'm struggling to find words to describe how good it is!
Enjoy it whilst you can.

You're 100% right about the number plate Andres. I'm in two minds though as I don't really want to give plod an excuse to pull me.
No, not run in yet. I took it out again today for a fair while but not as long as I had intended. Some friends came round last night and....well, he's not called 'Bad Bob' for nothing
I'm really pleased with the screen and like the look too. When I rode it yesterday sans screen, I was thinking "bloody hell, this is hard work."

You'll have to take it out for a bit of a spankette when I next see you. I don't mean to be all nauseatingly gushy but after todays ride I thought that it is like pure motorcycling nirvana.

Can you stop being all nauseatingly gushy about your new two wheeled velociped
Ps I can vouch for Badbob
That is awesome btw, similar in stance to my old 1200 moto morini corsaro valence.
Tell us if you come up this way

Ha ha, we're getting old mate. I went through the same thoughts with the 1190 and ended up keeping the 'legal' plate. However, that bike ain't about the looks and it looks ok on it.
I reckon you could go down in size a little bit. Nothing outrageous that will draw any attention but just enough to look 'right'.
And ta for the offer of a good spanking! You won't need to ask me twice
Mind you, just how close I'd be able to get to 'spanking' a bike like that is doubtful, I mean the 1190 has me crying out in fear and nervous, giddy excitement on the rare occasions I dare open the throttle all the way. Let's just say I may give the 'beast' a little stroke and when it's not looking I'll try and get away with a playful tap.........................

Don't ask Melch to judge visual acuity. The bugger didn't even see my nice helmet that was resting on his pillion seat as he sped off in a cloud of dust when we were in the badlands looking for adventure last September.
