Rimfireboy Posted January 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2013 Are these CE marked now? I remember looking at them but they weren't BS or CE marked and you werent allowed to use them on a trackl! Nice paint job though... Don't know if they are gixer. I bought this one from York motorcycles when I was up there in 1996, so its a while ago now. Got it painted a few years ago. Just dug it out the loft yesterday when I was looking for a pushchair, yeah, I know. So I just thought I'd take a few pics and post them on here, thought somebody might be interested and see if anybody else has got any custom lids to show us. Thanks for the comments.

-Mongrel- Posted January 18, 2013 Report Share Posted January 18, 2013 2 wheels bad, 4 wheels good! All road users are equal, but some (cars) are more equal than others! Sorry mate, but you have definitely got that **** about! I drive and I ride and it's true, 4 wheels move the body, 2 wheels moves the soul! You are equally entitled to sit in traffic jams for half of your journey, insulated from the outside wrold in your little tin box. I would choose every time to be riding through and around the jams, with the smells and sounds of my environment stimulating my senses. But that's where the equality ends, the car may be safer, the bike is not the safe option, but if I wanted safe I'd live in a padded sell. I'll stick with the option that reaffirms that I am still alive!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-Mongrel- Posted January 18, 2013 Report Share Posted January 18, 2013 (edited) Bet im less likely to die on road than you... Yes you know your alive as you get chewed up by a lorry or hit a tree, thats that's is it hurts more Indeed you are, but if you die in your car it'll probably be from boredom! You don't ride, probably never have and probably never will in case you get hurt, so I cannot begin to hope you'd understand. Tell me though, when you leave the house of a morning, do you look up in case of falling masonry? Is your whole life based on being risk averse, or do you ever get the adrenaline running? However, please don't think your immune from nasty things happening while you're in your tin box. An artic' hitting you at 40 mph will leave you no less ****** than it will me.

-Mongrel- Posted January 18, 2013 Report Share Posted January 18, 2013 But true... My brother is a biker, of 2 dozen friends, he is one of 7 still alive! I've ridden for 10 years, 6 of those regularly with a group of local riders, probably 40 or 50 in total. In that time we've lost one of our number in a bike related crash, and maybe half a dozen injured, none severely. Maybe your brother needs to find safer mates. Have been a passenger on an r6 ... Let me guess, with your brother or one of his loon mates? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
