Faster than an R1 away from the lights though...
Yeah, but look at it!
And then try cornering. You'll be in the hedge as I fly past.

I used to have a full power V-max in the 80's it was fun, but as you say, not one for getting your knee down on.
The new max is ridiculously overpriced.
Anybody bother picking up one of the cheap Buells on offer, I was tempted, but my hooligan days are over.

My mate has a Lightning, and as you say, it's a hoolie machine.
In a similar vein to the V (or actually, Night) Rod up there, Victory make some cracking looking cruiser bikes, I reckon:

I had a little perv over those last week as well, they seemed very popular. Will probably attract a lot of UK Harley riders after they all realise what horrendously unreliable heaps of shit they're currently riding, or when H-D goes bust (I'm guessing within twelve months). 112 000 bike recalled ffs

I know of the Victorys mainly because a mate's just got rid of his Sportster XLC1200, with the intention of getting a Hammer. They don't build a lot of bikes, but I think they're lovely, and from what I read, they're good to ride and far more reliable than the Harleys, who seem to be gradually slipping down the tubes.

THE two dream bikes of my youth.

V Max? Do you mean the new one?
Ugggh.
I can't explain this; I think it's ugly but at the same time I like the look of it, in an odd kind of way. It's got character and looks almost human. Same as I'm probably the only person who liked the last Ford Scorpio.

THE two dream bikes of my youth.
they were both pretty ace bikes. the rgv had the best handling of any bike i have ever ridden and was possibly the most fun - on a good day though I got 19 to the gallon. the NC30 had awesome brakes and a sweet engine note - was nearly as much fun as the rgv but there was always a slight fear about stacking it and it didnt have that two stroke mentalness.

Yeah, Guzzis are/were good bikes and not bad value for money. When I was at Cranfield (college) I knew two people who had one; both 850s, a California and a Le Mans.

Can you remember the magazine adverts for them:
"Long legged and easy to live with!"

Just about. What I remember best was, "Take a(nother?) look at the excellence of Moto Guzzi you get a lot more for your money!" And that was how it was punctuated.

Nice bike. What year / vintage is that?

Oh that is just a pic from the interweb.
Don't know what it is for sure. I think it is an 850 Le Mans, but it could be a 1,000cc. It is custom because it has spoked wheels and larger brake disks.
