Title: The Midnight Ride
Post by: Tourmeister on April 08, 2004, 12:58:21 AM
Howdy,

I just got back in from a fantastic night ride!! I thought I would share it with you:

If you don't ride at night, you don't know what you are missing!

Adios,

At midnight, it's hard to see the gaping craters they call potholes in the roads here  :x

I work 1900-0700 nightshifts and often get a break in the small hours, there is nothing quite like a summer night ride out round the country lanes, along Barham ridge or down onto the Romney Marshes, like the man said if you don't do you really are missing out.

Nevermind, I want a VFR.

night rides are awesome, less cars, pedestrians, animals, well okay maybe not animals, to dodge :)

Hehe... you misunderstand. I am not bashing the Suzuki GS. In fact, I am not bashing any GS. I just recently bought a BMW R1150GS (http://www.twtex.com/viewtopic.php?t=1309). It is an absolutely awesome machine! I am selling both VFRs though, at least that was the plan. Now that I am faced with the reality of parting with my beloved VFR, I find it is a hard thing to do  :dunno: I do have a Zook GS parked in the garage as well, a 2001 GS500. It belongs to a friend of ours and we garage it for her. It is nothing like a VFR, but it is indeed a very fun bike on tight twisty roads! I wish it had been my first bike rather than the big top heavy Nighthawk 750 I had.

Adios,
