Test Ride

I know HD's aren't everyone's thing but today I took this Street Rod for a comprehensive spin because I could. I had no intention of buying it but Gav at Quick Fix Motor Cycles in Mildura demanded that I go out and flog it :D

Well 115 - 120 horses were a little disappointing but there's nothing like the throb of a V twin. On a 'private track' I pulled 220k's after a long wind out, it was a toss up between the bike being flat out or me being flat out holding onto it. Then Mr Kangaroo said slow down....

The positives were unbelievably fantastic front brakes (the best I've ever come across) and a super smooth gear box.

Dropped the Street Rod back off to Gav, traveled home via the same 'private track' on the Busa and did everything quicker and easier.... (and at half the price too).

Cheers Rich

By the way no working on it Friday probably as its my 40th Birthday Wednesday (ACK! Im OLD!!) and I will be in Adelaide most of the day picking up a mate to come back for a party on Saturday. We are having a LAN party at my work if ya wanna swing by and have a beer. Probably not your scene... lots of computer geeks shooting each other on counterstrike all night, but your welcome if you wanna drop in, we are starting about 5pm and going all night with a BBQ bacon and egg brecky in the morning. At the computer centre on Orange Ave. ;)

Davo the Street Rod was certainly no pig. There was fun to be had on this bike, it was sure footed at speed, torque'y and good looking. You got to remember this is a stock standard bike out of the box, begging for some tweaking....

Dinorider, come on mate keep the blinkers on. Don't look sideways or outside the square (or Suzuki) for a bike as you may get boo'ed off stage ;)
