It's Ravens Day

nice
wheres the speedo stop at ?

Digital speedo, but reportedly 168+ MPH (270+KPH). Unlikely I'll ever see anything like that.

nice
my yami xj 1300 quit winding up at 240kph.had her up there a few times.
had a run once against a blackbird from toronto back to morisset.
thats when i found out my life time of riding skills werent worth shit at that speed.
got left for dead on the eraring straight.

Cheers Mark

Hi Mate,

Looks something like this:

Unreal!

Thank Mrs Raven and some devious friends who organised this behind my back.

[trevort]

sell it and buy some custom rifles. Much safer

[The Raven]

You're probably right Trevor. I be super careful with this "weapon"

[Camel]

sell it and buy some custom rifles. Much safer

Nice...Very Nice I have been looking at obtaining a GS 650 Dakar for the past couple years now, maybe sometime in the next few years I will own me one.

[LoneRider]

being heavy as hell,it wont handle as sharply as ravans new toy,and wont go as hard.
but it was a nice bike to ride long distance.
i rode her up her a few times while i was buying the place at sapphire.
towed the trailer like it wasnt there.
a little thursty,but loads of fun.
i wish my inner ears hadnt have shit emselves,course i would still have a bike.
the only chance i have now is a trike or side car.
no balance is [to me and my life for most of it] like having no legs.
you can get by,but something is missing and it aint coming back.

You could look at a trike or perhaps a spider either would be accommodating with a trailer. I'm surprised at Raven not responding back yet, but then again I'd be out there riding now rather than posting! I sure do hope it's a great ride for him, a family friend of mine has 8 Trumpy's in his garage and he loves em all to death

trikes cost a bomb mate,somethin i just cant afford yet.
i am still looking at an st1100 and putting the trike rear on it.

who could blame him if that was the case.
ive had many,many bikes and loved every one of them.
