Chronicles of Alan : Motorcycle Days

in #motorcycles7 years ago (edited)

Forward to the Current Day between Wayne and Myself we have a Cagiva Raptor 1000 and a Suzuki TL 1000 I purchased the other Day as a non -runner , Owner went to visit his Brother on it , when he walked out again would not start , Electrical Problems not uncommon.

What these Bikes share in common is, Suzuki's great V Twin Motor a real Torque Machine!

The Raptor was designed by the same Designer that Designed the Ducati Monster. and works for the Company doing Cagiva and MV-Agusta.

This Bike is known for its ridiculously quick acceleration,

Now for the TL 1000 known for its quirky back Shockabsorber design. also known as the Freddie Krueger of Motorcycles!

If you don't know who Freddie is? , ( Stars in a Series of Horror Movies!)

The above was a TL accelerating up to 260Kph , Quick was it not?

The above is a TL following some other Bikes,.

We should have these 2 Machines back on the road in the next few Months , and will give you updates as they go along!

Enjoy your Weekend.

Great post again.. love the duc

Thank You, Glad you liked it!

Wow you guys are daredevils!! How's it feel going at such a speed? Must be exhilarating!!

Sure can be, Thank You.

Holy moly! That 4minutes ride was thrilling for me! And up to almost 150km/h! How do you do it, like dodge so quickly! I can kind of understand that passion for speed and travel, but as a nurse bikes are not for me. So thankyou for letting me 'ride' , with great background music!

It is the adrenalin rush, but, you cannot always rely on your fellow road users to do the right thing? Thank You.

I can imagine! Not everyone is a safe driver. Not everyone is in their right mind all the time either. Keep safe on the roads buddy!

Btw whats the background music called?

Loved the PASSION you have keep riding keep smiling

Intresting!
I enjoyed the videos but I like more the first one..

Bro Alan, lekker read thank you.

Thank you so much, did not know your Superhero name , so went to your page. Need to Jam sometime, ( I am the holdup )

You know me, I am always ready for a good jam, very rusty but up for some fun.

Thank You so much Bro Jan.

The Raptor 1000 looks like a great niche bike.
Easily moving in and out of traffic.
However, the suzuki looks gorgeous.
Great Videos @awgbibb
Keep up your great bike adventures

Thank You, Yes, difficult decision!

That was very thrilling and amazing to watch !!
It's always a great time reading your blog post once again thanks for sharing.

Thank You, appreciate your kind words.

The first video is very thrilling :O I couldn't do it :D

Thank You, yes, it gets the pulse rate up!

Ohhh it's really amazing!! I hope someday I buy this bike!!

Thank You, Maybe Steemit will help you own one?

Damn that's a fast bike! Probably would scare the crap out of me.

If it did not , you would not have a long life on it. Thank You

Sweet cheese, holy potato! That speed, one wrong move and game over!

Thank You, , A clear head is better than an adrenalin rush!

Wow the videos are amazing, thanks for sharing

Thank you, appreciated.

Hope you get them running right. I look forward to seeing that.

Me too , Thank You, just had the water pump go on the ldv yesterday, anything to hold me up!

I love bike
thank you for sharing

My Pleasure, thank you.

I prefer the cagiva! A lot knowledge from Ducati , combine that two and you have a real strong power machine. Will be a perfect ride, and so fast... like the speed rush !

Thank You, actually, the Frame says MV on it , all the Italians seem to know what they are doing with Bikes!

Dude. That looks so mental. It seems so handy to have a motorcycle. :D

Thank You, but awkward putting on helmet and Jackets etc.

The jackets look really cool :)

Always thrilling to watch these kind of videos, but keep safe my friend

Thank You , and will try!

that TL revving up to 260 didn't red line the tach. How is that even possible?

All a matter of Gearing I would expect? Thank You, My Friend.

that's impressive!

Motorcycle riding has been a passion of mine since my 20th birthday, and as a proud member of the Motorcyclist Association I can attest that responsible riding has many unique recreational benefits for millions of Americans.
