Grinning like a loon!

#1 Post by GinMonster » Sun Apr 21, 2013 9:49 pm

First ride for 8 years and I spend the day on my new (new to me) Monster 750. After 200 miles, I ache like a bitch, I'm physically and mentally spent, but it's a little beauty! Happy days!! :smt003

8 years is a long lay off. Any how welcome back to the joys of motorcycling.
Don't put off 'till tomorrow what you can enjoy today

i know the feeling GinMonster althou i have had bikes for most of the loast ten years they have all been cheap and boring commuter bikes, when i got my falco a few weeks ago it reminded me just how much i love having a decent bike even if after riding her for about four hours my arse was disagreeing lol

must admit I've always hankered after a monster but then I spent the day with Martdude and RandomSquuid and now I am cured :smt003

Nah I still like them ...well done hopefully it'll be a keeper if not I do accept chariddy :smt001
For the avoidance of doubt and for the benefit of my wife, not everything I may say here will be absolutely true I may on ocassion embellish a little for effect.
That said when it comes to motorbikes, I like to ride side saddle with a nice frock

OOPS!
Apologies Ginmonster for the crap stereotyping on my part, but then if I'd seen 'ache like a bitch' as an inferencece, then would I have also been stereotyping ?
Main thing is grin inducing ride, thats what we like !

Oddly we both fancied the Yamaha Fatuglystupidfuckwit until we spent the day with Flatlander.
Congrats on getting back on two wheels GinMonster.

Stereotype, scmereotype - a biker's a biker! (even when they're a triker)
