re Lenina’s comment: I am after this bike:

Old Vmax

It is in production since 1985 practically unchanged ever since. The normal unrestricted edition is 145LE out from the factory (just to mention: an average big family car is about a 100LE…) but this can be pumped up somewhere if the region of 160-200LE easily…

So what are they? They are cruisers or muscle bikes. Nowdays they are not that interesting cos most of the sport or speed bikes can do the same or even better performance but with much more better handling abilities. This one remained a cruiser you still can beat almost anybody on a straight road or in a drag race (exspecially if you got nitro on it hehe) but you must slow down before the corner comes or you are bumm

The good thing in this bike though that you can enjoy the pleasures of biking and wondering around looking the scenery as you can’t go too fast (fast in motorcycle terms, not in car terms…) unlike a speed bike where the temptation to ride the bike on peak performance (both rider and the bike) all the time is so big that – well you have no time to enjoy the surroundings. In exchange you laugh full your helmet. On the other side though the Vmax is still well more comfortable than a speed bike (try to go for a bike tour with a speed bike you will understand what I am talking about…)

The picture above shows a standard factory bike. If you interested, google the bike you will find hundreds and hundreds modified Vmax’s. Usually the owners are very proud of them and everybody is trying to make them more personalized…

Anyway I know a guy who is selling his bike which is a Vmax. Argh it is very tempting but so much money. These bikes keep their prices very well.

And yes next year what everyone was waiting for, the new Vmax is due. I read a few blogs and forums about it and quite a number of people said oh well the new one is not the same. Well I think it looks stunning just like a bike from some cyberpunk world but I have to admit that on the technical side the new Vmax doesn’t offer much more than the old one (bare in mind that the old one is a more than 20 years old construction)

New Vmax

Oh my god look at that bike, i am officially fell in love with Yamaha bikes

Look at that V twin engine, 1700ccm LMFAO well done engineer guys!

YAMAHA MT-01

I am not even start to make stories why did iI not updated my blog. I just did not cos I didn’t feel so…

But now I am.

for a start:

I have a new girlfriend,flat and job

I was well busy and I am well busy now.

 the funny side of this that on my previous post I was talking about all sort of plans and everything. Now if I look my life presently it shows a wee (for whom are not familiar with the Scottish “slang” wee= little) bit different picture.

At the moment it looks like I am not going to Thailand cos of the new job. I am planning to get a bike finally.

ok. that is just pointless. SO many things happened that I just do not want to write an awful long f*cking boring post about the last two month of mine cos it would be a book.

SO I am just going to pretend that my last post was yesterday. So I can write about interesting things such as hm such as whatever.

be enough this just for now. The next post will be better. this was a kinda reintroduction or what that I am alive and I am here and everything.

I am going to Hungary next week and I will get an other tattoo /should all hails tattoos (it is a surprice but it will be really good)

also FLI (like FYI but for Lenina’s interest) so she mentioned one time that I should get a tattoo in Scotland as well as a memory or what.

I didn’t want to cos I didn’t know what I would get (as I’ve already got my thistle) but now I know I want a swallow. a traditional swallow. That is gonna be magic. It won’t be at a very visible place unlike the original old swallow tattoos (like on the hand or lower arm or something) but it will be an old-school swallow tattoo.

cool. I like that.
