You dont have to be an expert in a field to know whats right and wrong and whats wreckless and whats not.

Additionally, I would refer the learned gentleman to the original title of this thread...

[size=20]Fancy a Motorbike... but not a damned clue![/size]

I wouldn't go that far  

But yes, from posts in here, and reading up other places, going to a few bike shops, reading into the lot I can honestly say I am a bit more clued up now on whats what, and other random's...

Still a LONG way to go!!

......Don't forget I also drive a Gallant V6, eats Migs.

 .... b ut we can change our spark plugs easier & faster than you!!!

(my brother used to have a FTO - Gallant in a party frock ... to nick Clarkson's reference about Cortinas & Capris  )

Well Jaime where do you consider large - my 600 was fast but not that large - I suppose anything over 60 to 70 bhp would count.

I have seen  2.3

I'm sure you can begin to imagine the extra performance of the larger bikes then.

2.3 - that Triumph one?

I can imagine the difference - most in 3 figure speeds I think, 2.3 is the Triumph Rocket - similar power to the 2.20 Omega

don't pick on me just cos the Migs broke, you you you hooligan.

I did to try and pick something that wouldn't touch a nerve. Looks like I failed.   If it's any condolence I very nearly bought a V6 Galant and have been lusting after a VR4 for a while now...

It was quite interesting to watch ...just proves that when in the shit .. stop digging !!

Far too many experienced bikers here for me to add anything constructive .. but watching them shoot was fun ..

I enjoyed it

There is a world of difference between opinion and knowledge as was clearly demonstrated in this thread....

Or put another way, don't pretend to know about something when you don't, you just end up looking like a muppet.

 .......I have a night off and look what you guys get up to!  

...still, it was worth reading back though all the posts; if only to see: "Ignorant Buffoon" used in one!

Very nice indeed, Is that the 1000 cc?

[handy]

Yes its the 1000,  Its an import from america,  Exactly the same spec as a uk bike and £1400 cheaper
