Title: What's better than a GSX1400? This -->
Post by: SA14 on Sunday, 08 November 2020, 09:24 PM
Two!

Mine on the left, @Throttle 's on the right. His is faster with a full aftermarket exhaust. We rode each other's bike around a few local streets. I asked him to test my rebuilt calipers because his has perfect brakes and he stood it on it's front wheel! Totally made my day. I guess that's a thumbs up. I immediately noticed the more power on his. Those Akrapovic exhausts add a very noticeable power boost. I was a bit surprised to be honest. Great to see another one in the flesh for the first time. The first time is always special...lol

Best heavy metal singer for the best British heavy metal band on earth. Given that you also ride the best heavy metal motorcycle on earth I found it fitting.

I do like their music, but I've never been the sort to follow bands & know who's in them etc.

I used to play Bass in a hair metal band. We played "Riding on the wind"...if I may (it seems apt):

Tearing up through life
Million miles an hour
Blinding all in sight
Surging rush of power

Seen them live in July 1979, backing Status Quo along with others. Halford arrived on stage on a Harley.
