I think it is true to a certain extent. I even had a woman pull up next to me in a Porsche, open the passenger window, and say to me "Nice bike". Talk about a rush. Haha.

My 8gs, much too vanilla for such shenanigans...

 

However, my little one walks into school like a superhero when I drop him off in the mornings.

Great. I remember how good it feels to be proud of your Dad.

Only had this when on my ZRX1200R in George, also a lady in a big SUV, though an older German lady took a shine to the Big Orange 1190 at the Sedgies market this week. Surrounded by 5 spotless GS’s the filthy Katoom stood out.........if you like dirt bikes! Was just back from my 4 day CT trip , lots of dirt in 1450 km round trip

If I was in my car and you pulled up next to me on this I would also be "looking"

Big Zed is happy with the new suspension, Bitubo rears with piggy back reservoirs and Wilbers progressive springs installed in the forks.

I'm not much of a Kawa fan, but I'll ride this bike with a big smile on my face. Liked the ELR reps in the 80's, and this Big Zed looks like just a more modern version of them.????????

Hate to break it to you, but you could have worked as a motorbike delivery guy a long time already...

Noice, one step closer than me.

You have got to love the "look" that the rider gives the car on the freeway after being cut off.

Had a look at this Fat Bob Saturday morning on the way to site. She fits right, only has 21000km on the clock, in great overall condition, not too loud and the price is right.

Now I just hope she is still there once the private work funding this bike is invoiced for and pay for in the new week or two.

Crappy pics I know, but I ran back in to take the pics as I was running late for my meeting in Franschhoek.

If you look to the last pic, there is a very big and bad Triumph Rocket 3 in the background.

Did some running-in of both bikes this weekend.

The neighbours were not amused.
