A wee trip out on the beast..

[H.R.H. Nashskye]

Glad you like the bike, looks like you've had a good run out on it

Were you in the car park for: http://www.scotland-photo-library.co.uk/photonet/skye/pages/39.htm after stopping and looking at the Trotternish hills?

Yes, well spotted! It's at the Kilt Rock, very beautiful but fecking WINDYYYYYY!!

 

[Arsey]

Has anybody bought an 800 in any other colour ?


The black/yellow is so much nicer that I bet 90% will be in this colour.

 

[H.R.H. Nashskye]

Tash i gotta say your bum looks very petite and good looking












oh i can see how that wouldn't work too well

Yes, I can just hear it, 'wow, your bum looks a lot bigger than I thought it was' etc etc..

The name can't be bee (sorry a lot of Bs!) related, for reason mentioned above!!

Up there last May, stunning scenery, all helped by having a great bike.

Must be hard working where to go out on rides

Well the only other bike being collected from Edinburgh yesterday was the grey 800, but not sure who!
I know what you mean, the black and yellow looks pretty cool!

Enjoy "Stinger" Tash. Shortened to Sting? Well I guess it could be worse.

You made the 650 look like a toy, you looked at home on an 1150 and you're on tip-toes on the 800 It must be close to the height of 1200 Adventure.

800GS is 880mm, 12Adv is 890 or 910mm

Stinger..not bad! Yeah, the 1150 was a great bike, but to heavy for someone like me! (Not that I'm a delicate little thing or owt!!) Height isn't a prob, I soon got used to the tip toe technique!!

You really are an anorak aren't you?!

 

[John Armstrong]

800GS is 880mm, 12Adv is 890 or 910mm

650 twin is:

765mm with lowered suspension and 820 / 790.
Inner leg curve is 1710, 1780 and 1820mm.

800 inner leg curve, 1900 / 1940mm

1200 GSA inner leg curve 1960 / 2000mm.

So 800 on high seat, will seem similar to GSA on low seat, if I'm working things out correctly.

[Paul G (BHT)]

Wasn't me that started it though

 

[Packer]

Ohhh Christ..

...they're competing for favours now, they'll be throwing gauntlets next as to who is the champion anorak

That's what happens when you downgrade from a shaftie 1150 and the other half takes it away for wheelie practice in the forest before disappearing to the pub.

Wizard / Tash super looking bike enjoy!

 

[H.R.H. Nashskye]

Oi! Anoraks feck off from my thread!
BTW - I have never ever used a centre stand..
I think I'm going to call my bike Lorenzo, like the GP star, everybody slags him, but secretly they're desperately jealous...yes that's it - my bike is called Lorenzo, thank you one and all for inspiring me..
