RantMachine Posted December 21, 2015 Posted December 21, 2015 What's this, you've run out of excuses so you're hiring a Private Investigator to find some new ones for you? Quote

Glorian Posted December 21, 2015 Posted December 21, 2015 Its ok he has a Bandit it will never make it......... Ooooh. Quote
Stu Posted December 21, 2015 Author Posted December 21, 2015 Go for it I'm proud to be a fair weather rider that's more than what can be said for owning a Bandit Quote
Glorian Posted December 21, 2015 Posted December 21, 2015 Nothing wrong with bandits. Good all rounder bikes and not to expensive for first bikes either. Quote
Gin Posted December 21, 2015 Posted December 21, 2015 Nothing wrong with bandits. Good all rounder bikes and not to expensive for first bikes either. Loved mine to pieces until I hurled it down the road! Quote
Joeman Posted December 21, 2015 Posted December 21, 2015 Date sounds good.. Is it fixed??Does that mean we have a venue??Littlecat, does that "noooooo" mean you can't make it? Quote
Hoggs Posted December 21, 2015 Posted December 21, 2015 Littlecat, does that "noooooo" mean you can't make it? Or nooooo because Glorian can? Quote
littlecat Posted December 21, 2015 Posted December 21, 2015 just a major dilemma as it definitely clashes with something else Quote

RantMachine Posted December 21, 2015 Posted December 21, 2015 Damn you, I was trying to find that picture! Quote
Six30 Posted December 21, 2015 Posted December 21, 2015 Damn you, I was trying to find that picture! To slow Quote
Glorian Posted December 21, 2015 Posted December 21, 2015 Not all of us can afford to buy costly bikes, Mine was what i could afford at the time.Anyhow i like it so that's all that matters. Quote
RantMachine Posted December 21, 2015 Posted December 21, 2015 Amen to that. Mine was cheap-ish and I do or don't like it depending on which way the wind is blowing, probably would've done a lot more miles by now if I'd spent the same money on a Bandit instead! Quote
Fozzie Posted December 21, 2015 Posted December 21, 2015 But you'd lack the mechanic aptitude you have picked up courtesy of the BMW. So there's a silver lining! As it has also fed your desire to further it with the CG.The only actual gripe I have with the bandit is its name, and its handling. Plus as the years went on it went from a kind of cool naked bike, to a big tourer, and the name didn't fit anymore. It always bugged me as it was like calling Austin Powers fat bast*rd "slender".

Glorian Posted December 21, 2015 Posted December 21, 2015 Never noticed an issue with the handling, but then i've only ridden a chinese bike... I'm sure if i rode a sports bike i'd notice! Quote
Hoggs Posted December 21, 2015 Posted December 21, 2015 Never noticed an issue with the handling, but then i've only ridden a chinese bike... I'm sure if i rode a sports bike i'd notice! You'd notice that they're great when you're going above 20. PITA if you're trying to slow speed maneuver them in a car park! Swings and roundabouts Quote

Not all of us can afford to buy costly bikes, Mine was what i could afford at the time.Anyhow i like it so that's all that matters. Did I get a bite here? I'm only pulling ya pisser yes not all of us can afford costly bikes thats me included!! the FJR was relatively cheap!! and its actually the first bike I have bought in over 9 years I swapped the TL for a gsxr600 that I had at the time and I owned that for 8 years although I spent a lot on it over the years Quote
Stu Posted December 21, 2015 Author Posted December 21, 2015 Never noticed an issue with the handling, me neither! when I rode my brothers it handled rather well the only downside was that the foot pegs scraped the floor on corners a little too easy the suspension is a tad soft on them but most bikes are like that!

Stu Posted December 21, 2015 Author Posted December 21, 2015 Date sounds good.. Is it fixed??Does that mean we have a venue?? yes and yes more details will follow soon its in Derbyshire so get it booked off work Quote
Stu Posted December 21, 2015 Author Posted December 21, 2015 just a major dilemma as it definitely clashes with something else you will have to just come to the rally! nothing is more important than the rally!! Quote
