Motorbikes

[wornish]

Recently moved house and the local village had a motorbike "meet" last week. More than 500 bikes turned up!

I am no expert, but some of the bikes were amazing.

Just look at the engine on this. Apparently, the first publically available bike to have more than 100HP.
Honda CBX "More engine than bike"



Another Honda a Valkyrie



and a Harley

Nah, "Hubba Hubba" (or "Potato potato) is the sound a Harley makes - a CBX howls like a banshee with a chilli up its bum!!!

Tidy looking pair of classic Japs in that first shot.

Shot 3 isn't a Harley it's Japanese.

 

[Nod]

Yup. My point (which probably should haver had a or similar after it is that Harleys do make a Hubba Hubba (or Potato Potato) noise rather than the wail of a CBX.

Hmm Kawasaki Z1 been on the back of one them, interesting when the throttle opened you could feel the frame flex.

As for the CBX1000 knew someone who stuck a tube on one and it did not kick in till the bike was doing 70mph
