Hi All, just thought i would show you some pic's of my new bike, its a Honda of course ;), its a VTX1300 Retro cruiser, it came with the big screen and saddle bags etc, but i have put them in the loft as i like the look of the bike without them, i fancied something newer and this caught my eye 8), took it for a test ride liked it and bought it ;D, its going to keep me busy cleaning it LOL. its like riding a armchair very comfy loads of power & a bit of a bugger to get used to at first :D, hope you like it cheers mick.(http://i234.photobucket.com/albums/ee75/mcpuffett/vtx1300.jpg)(http://i234.photobucket.com/albums/ee75/mcpuffett/newbike009.jpg)(http://i234.photobucket.com/albums/ee75/mcpuffett/newbike008.jpg)(http://i234.photobucket.com/albums/ee75/mcpuffett/newbike007.jpg)(http://i234.photobucket.com/albums/ee75/mcpuffett/newbike006.jpg)

I'ts not that noisey Steve, my eldest lad says it sounds like a chinook helicopter coming down the street ;D, Hi Den & Dave, well i probably would'nt have give it a second look when i was younger, i like it because its different this is the first one i've seen in red as the majority are black, ;)cheers mick.

We get Chinooks flying over here on their way down south.
They are f***ing noisy! You can hear them coming from miles away!
-
You think a chinooks is loud, you want to live at the bottom of the Red Arrows runway
-
That's what you get for living in "Bomber County" John.
Here we just get Heathrow incoming (they normally start at 4.30am)

Hello Sam, yep you are right it does have loads of torque ;D, it pulls like a freight train 8), i've only had it up to a ton on the motorway but it dont hang about getting there :o, cheers mick.

Sam - south of us is Hampshire : "Chinook Country"
I think they fly from Northolt or Bensen

Does it go round corners at spped Mick?
-
Hi Dave, its ok on long flowing corners at speed but shorter corners can be a bit of handfull :o, just got to remember to adjust my riding style from the F1 to this, it is'nt heavy but it has a long wheel base & having a fat front tyre it wants to grip all the overbanding & grooves in the road , cheers mick ;).

Local dealer put a set of imported Vance and Hines pipes on one of those and the noise caused more damage than the last earthquake
