I gotta stop doing this..sorry blokes, blame my missus for getting me an ipad, never mind the ogri nickname I've always had now I'm old I'm like the bastard offspring of Alan partridge and Steve McQueen....

Nice noise! Do you always ride like that?

ogri48 · « **Reply #2 on:** 15 May 2014, 03:25:04 pm »

Unfortunately, yes. Though I do wear more sensible gear on me fz1.

That Bonnie does sound the mutts dunnit..love that bike. No good for a fast ride out or two up to France, but for just thrapping about on its ace..

It is bud, pound for pound probably the best bike I've ever bought. It was proper fun in the winter...You can even take it out on the dirt, living in a farm house I often cut across the fields ( not so much now they have seeded lol) to follow the river wensum into the city, just for a very pleasant change. Gotta avoid the wet stuff obviously, otherwise you spend more time digging the mud out between your front tyre and the mudguard with a stick than you do riding...

sounds quality mate! nice one

ogri48 · « **Reply #12 on:** 15 May 2014, 07:19:23 pm »

thanks dude..its got 42,000 miles up but dont burn oil, they are deffo a good lump, think the 900cc hyde kit has been on it more or less from new, pipes are straight through hydes too, but it seems to be jetted well for (you gotta love carbs), certainly bottom end is strong even too up. its got a great vibe, you just gotta resist the temptation to try and jump a fence every now and then..

Made me chuckle, that is Ogri in his happy place. I like it.

Lovin the Vid. You seem like a top bloke too

ogri48 · « **Reply #15 on:** 15 May 2014, 07:42:14 pm »

very kind but dunno about that mate, just the same as you lot i guess, i love me bikes, though the missus deffo loves me, even if she does call me a daft old sod at least once every day.

red98 · « **Reply #16 on:** 15 May 2014, 08:00:59 pm »

Great vid ogri.....thats what its all about....one man and his bike

............wish I had a mrs like yours and I bet iam not the only one on here thinking that

Kosmic Kartman · « **Reply #17 on:** 15 May 2014, 08:30:55 pm »

Sounds propper plumb

VNA - BMW Wank · « **Reply #18 on:** 15 May 2014, 09:01:38 pm »

That's sounds ear splitting. Just as well you live out of the way on a farm!
Don't fancy that firing up next door when I'm having a lie in

VNA's been thinking aboot a second bike (or 3rd assuming I get my 1974 C90 back one day)

For some reason I keep dreaming of Aprilia SL1000's (Falco)

Bonnie looks like fun though.

ogri48 · « **Reply #19 on:** 15 May 2014, 09:11:25 pm »

Uh huh..ride close enough and It sets parked car alarms off, you gotta love that about it too..
You could do a lot worse than get an early carbed Bonnie mate, though it's gotta be black, noisy and unkempt, with what little chrome there is covered in permadirt...

Penny is a good un, far better than I deserve, we met kinda late in life but we are making up for it

VNA - BMW Wank · « **Reply #20 on:** 15 May 2014, 09:26:57 pm »

I can see the attraction. Did you change the bars? Like the slightly dodgy number plate, does blend in nicely.

Other bike I've had on my mind is an early to mid 90's Speed Triple.

I'm in no hurry though, might buy something this year, or it might be next.

ChristoT · « **Reply #21 on:** 15 May 2014, 09:36:00 pm »

So that wasn't an earthquake I felt earlier - it was Ogri starting up!!

Yup bars are one inch harley items mate, triumph do switchgear in that size too so that's handy...them early speed triples are gorgeous, heavy but a lovely looking bike

sounds great mate

I'll have to Google how to remove bafflers from Bandit exhausts

JoeRock · « **Reply #24 on:** 16 May 2014, 02:22:43 pm »

Ogri, how comes you've got a black plate on there? Is it actually an 04 bike?
