CJ Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 I always fancied something like that but as I have never owned (nor actually ridden) a bike, I cannot see it happening now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Havard Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 I always fancied something like that but as I have never owned (nor actually ridden) a bike, I cannot see it happening now. I would imagine the life expectancy of a motor cyclist in Kos would be similar to that of a fire eater performing in a firework factory!! H.

CJ Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 I would imagine the life expectancy of a motor cyclist in Kos would be similar to that of a fire eater performing in a firework factory!! H. In the tourist season definitely! Out of season is great though as most of the roads (well, there aren't that many) are empty. The standard of driving out here is not too bad. I guess we are lucky that there are only around 22k people living on the island and so not that many cars. Bloody different in the summer though!

CJ Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 You need a big fat arse to make that seat comfortable. That's what made it appealing to me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraAyf Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 Matt, that is out of this world - well done indeed. I am a keen viewer of Orange County Choppers when I'm away and I can access satellite TV. The things that those guys do with bike designing is truely incredible. Your bike looks great mate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tooquicktostop Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 I always had bikes as well as cars and the speed rush from a large sports bike takes some beating, I was always one of those bikers who said they were as safe as cars and I have had some great bikes over the years, ZX6R Ninja, ZXR 750, GSXR1100 to name but a few but after a bad crash in 2005 I never rode again and never will Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mattsupra Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 thanks for the comments ive got a fat arse so its all good on that one lol sorry not into occ as there bikes they build come with a stipulation that there not to be riden and are only show pieces and if the rider/owner does ride the bike it is void of any kind of warranty and they will not be responsible if anything happens to either bike or rider which i think is crazy i know a guy in the states who bought one and he rode it 6 times and the frame cracked 6 times so he binned it and got a real chop my someone else ive just sold a lovelly streetfighter gixxer 750 old j plate 1992 with a load of polished bits and a rear single seat unit from the 2001 r1 looked and rode awsome as it was also in blue but didnt have 21 gears lmao my harley has a 330 bk wheel with a 5 speed right side chain drive prowler gearbox, with 21" front wheel n 12" over front end with a bdl 3"open belt drive kit with the harley 1340 evo motor and a lot of other billet ally things too lol matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest cj748 Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 I have recently sold mine after being a biker from teenage years. Roads too bad now IMHO, not just condition but some really bad drivers around. Too dangerous for me! (Might just mention that £60 fine for having tax disc in my pocket and not on bike was last straw!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
