Deaf Bandit Biker
auslanOZ Mon 09 Nov 2015, 10:07 am
Now a rider of a 2008 Bandit GSF1250S, two weeks so far...
Sold my old Yamaha scooter last month after a few years riding the Majesty 400cc as a BAB (Born Again Biker) after over 25 years absence of bike ownership.
Not including times I hired and rode various bikers in Europe & Oz (1999-2001) - e.g. Triumph Trophy 900; Buell 500; Harley FatBoy; Harley Softail ; plus one or two others I forgot.
Will soon do a 1800km round trip to Melbourne via Central NSW and back (just not keen on Hume Hwy)...

She can't be too bad if she allows you have a Bandit, so welcome to both of you, look forward to catching up some time.

Welcome aboard.
Plenty of good info on here and the occasional bit of ribbing.

I simply told her that the old bike has been finally sold. Came home the next day with my Bandit - and that's the first time she heard about this particular model...barry_mcki wrote:She can't be too bad if she allows you have a Bandit

Welcome to the forum OZ.
The Not Bandit (1250) are a great bike. I'm sure that you will have a great relationship with her.
Lots of great laughs and advice here.

The 2008 is still a real Bandit (especially if it's red).
Should eat up that Olympic Way trip pretty easy, though you might want to get a lambswool seat cover if the original seat is still on her.
