Put it in a safe place of course, doh! :lol

Fair swap I reckon - you reveal all about the safe in exchange for Noggy telling us about his new bike  :think

Went out on the Guzzi  in the  beautiful Autumn sunshine , around the ring road, through Codrington , Pennsylvania , pass Castle combe , Corsham , through Bath , onto Longleat , stopped at little Chef for lunch , then carried onto Warminster by pass , through Shepton Mallet , across the Mendips along the Old Bristol Road , pass Chew valley Lake , onto Mums in Felton for tea and gossip ,then back home , 100 miles today , bike as usual was great fun .

Results are in :deal


In 3rd place for guessing that it was a motorcycle with a frame - Red98


In 2nd place for a goid guess at it being TRX based - Nickodemon


In 01st place for being a crafty old foccer & sending me the exact sales link via pm - Unfazed :woot




Well done Unfazed...you've won the entire contents of Red98's safe......all he has to do is reveal what that is :D




Anyway here she is.......noggyfighter 2....a little bit different & ticking all the boxes so far. 8) .....ps.....the front fairing is a detachable thingy just havent had the time to take it off yet, was marginally useful on the long trip home but more importantly was included so i took it.

Eunos went through MOT with one advisory for low brake fluid level. Not to bad for a 22 year old car. Owned it for three years and only spent £60 on parts in total  :D

i'll see if I can get some half decent arty farty pics up sometime soon.....with the screen off...admittedly it ruins it.

got 2 weeks off coming up and hoping during all that time I can get at least a day out on her around Wales to really test out the handling.....I foresee the Newtown road being a feature.

Took a micro spin on the noggyfighter for a couple of obligatory Presseli pics.


Was quite amusing going full chat up the hillside with throttle wide open and drowning the valley with noise.


Took a couple of decent corners seemingly at ease at 90 but tbf the majority was at circa 80-85 which is exactly where i like to be.......85 in 4th means throttle pretty much 3/4 way to pinned, especially on a gradient......you've got to eek out 100 but it is achieved reasonably rather than with ease.


In all honesy i think on an open A road it will show its limitations in the grunt department....but only because the chassis is so sweet that it could go so much quicker and that is only a testiment to how sweet the yzf rear and R1 front combo handles....not a criticism of the engine per say.....so light and so smooth in the corners......old noggyfighter felt light on the front in such circumstances.....noggythou was just heavy and fighting with me with a stiff feeling front......this feels light on the front as if it will go light except it never actually goes light if that makes sense ie doesnt start to break traction at the front or get unsettled.




Really need a decent trip on her in mid wales to fully review.


I can see me owning more bikes in the future but i really cant see myself ever selling this bike 8)
