94p a litre at the moment, that's over £5.00 per gallon. But i am not complaining, cuz the bloody van runs on deisel and that is more per litre!!!:whip:

Hey Digger, that bike of the Bosses, excuse my ignorance, is that a V- Max, only I am not too up to date on bikes, save my limited knowledge of Wings. It sure looks the business, but what happens over 80mph, doesn't the wind start taking your/her head off? Last bike I road naked was a 650 Guzzi, and i found life quite uncomfortable without the protection of a fairing!:shock:

Its a fazer, I was told it was the precursor to the vmax... I had it up to 120mph (with full helmet and gear on) just testing it:grinner: and yes it was all I could do to hang on....

The fastest da boss has had it up to is 70mph and she says thats more than she cares to go right now (her first full summer of riding)..

Personally I dont care much for it as it is to short of a bike for me.. I like to stretch out and be comfortable:cooldevil:

Sensible lass, 70 is plenty respectable, even behind the comfort of the fairing I still haven't exceeded 100mph, but then I am a silly old git now and tend to be over careful. Got to admit slight envy that you have a lass who rides out with you on her own bike, but i am happy that Helen ( my Boss) enjoys being on the back with me.

Having da boss have her own bike is great and hard at the same time... Its great because we can now take our son with us and he just loves to go out crusin with mom and dad (hes 9 so mom and dad are still kewl) but then again it is hard because I dont think I could handle seeing her get into an accident:shock:


One of those double edged sword type things:baffled:

Yeah,I know that one, have 23 yr old son who rides his own Kwaka, and you can't help worrying about yr own. :?
