Vicarious Rambling

Discussion in 'Newbies Hangout' started by Tollywood, Jun 14, 2025.

  1. Hi to all,
    Just joined as my son has purchased a 797 monster and I need to glean as much information as possible on how best to keep it in shape and running as it should.
    I’ve ridden and owned bikes since the early 80s including a 94 900ss which, though gorgeous, suffered a cracked headstock so had to go !
    My son has granted me permission to “test ride” his new bike on the odd occasion, so I don’t know if I’m living vicariously through him or he through me….. ! He’s yet to take his test but fell in love with the bike and had to have it! Pics soon, it’s hasn’t turned up yet.
    I will treat it as my own …
    Thanks for reading my ramblings.
    Ps there’s a lot of pop ups on this site !

    It’s here and I’ve ridden it. It’s 5 years since I’ve been on the road, going to have to work on reducing those ‘chicken strips’….
