Engine sound - 8/30/2008 3:57:38 PM    DragonCBR Posts: 331 Joined: 10/4/2007 Status: offline Is it me or when the engine is warm , let''s say you have been rding 2 hours or more, the sound is beautiful sounds like a turbine, this is the only bike I have known to sound like that. Today we went for a 200kms ride, and at one point I was just enjoying the sound of it sounded like it was purring. And with a beautiful loose twisty road with curves of large radius we were able to maintain 100 to 120 km/h (60 to 70 ), I guess it was one of those moment where everything is perfect, the weather , the road, the bike and yourself and that you got in that rythm where you feel that the bike just sings under you.     It was one of those rides that I will remember.     _____________________________ Ride safe , ride a long time Carl aka DragonCBR Post #: 1

With rush of wind and angry growl A low pitched predatory howl The snick of gears, and brutal drive  We face the road, and come alive A gentle bend, a lengthy sweep The tyres are good, the grooves are deep, She flies and sings the siren song For here is where we both belong. For on the edge is where we thrive  And here alone we can despise The mindless moron changing lanes Who never fell and felt the pain. The taxis blunder, bringing death And cars which struggle so for breath To climb the hills we fly with ease Where we are free and find release. They cannot know who do not ride The overwhelming sense of pride Which comes to those who live so free Who love to run, like she and me. < Message edited by Shadow1 -- 8/30/2008 10:39:47 PM > (in reply to DragonCBR) Post #: 4

THE OLD LADY SHE SITS QUIETLY, DIGNIFIED IN SILENCE, WAITING… A PICTURE IN HER NEW COLOURS, PRETTY AS WHATEVER YOU CAN IMAGINE… IF WE COULD KNOW THE STORIES ONLY SHE COULD TELL THE DAYS OF YOUTH AND SPEED, LONG RUNS FLYING THROUGH THE MORNING COLD, OR INTO THE LAZY HEAT OF SUNSET, ADVENTURES LOST NOW TO ALL SAVE THOSE WHO KNEW AND LOVED HER THROUGH THE YEARS. SHE IS OLDER NOW, YET STILL HAS THE POWER TO DRAW YOUNG MEN WHICH WOMEN WOULD PAY A KING’S RANSOM TO POSSESS…..! SHE WAITS FOR YOU. OR ME, TO WHISPER TO HER GENTLY, BRING HER TO LIFE IN AN INSTANT, AND SUDDENLY IN HER AWAKENING ALL IS NOT AS IT WAS….. THERE IS A MENACE IN HER STANCE WHICH WARNS AS MANY WOMEN DO, “MISTREAT OR ABUSE ME AT YOUR PERIL ! “ AND SHE’S THE ONE WHO CAN MAKE IT ALL RIGHT OR WRONG IN A HEARTBEAT, AND YOU WILL PAY DEARLY FOR ANY DISRESPECT. SHE GROWLS A GENTLE WARNING LIKE A PREDATOR TO HER CUBS, BUT WILL BARK AND RUN AT THE LEAST ENCOURAGEMENT, TO PLACES WHERE LINES ARE BLURRED AND THE WORLD BECOMES A TUNNEL, BATTERED BY SOUND. WHERE AN INSECT HAS THE POWER OF A BULLET, AND YET WITHIN ALL THE NOISE THERE IS A SILENCE SO PROFOUND THAT ONLY THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN THERE CAN DESCRIBE IT. WE RETURN HER TO HER HOME, TO BE PAMPERED AS ANY WOMAN SHOULD BE, AND CARED FOR AS SHE COOLS WITH MUSICAL TINKLING SOUNDS. AND ONCE AGAIN, PATIENTLY, SHE WAITS…… (in reply to tallenuf) Post #: 8
