Unfortunate choice of words
« on: March 28, 2024, 11:11:21 »
I was watching a video by TMF the other day (yes, I know! ). He was complaining about the standard mirrors on the RE Classic 350 vibrating. One of his subscribers replied "I fitted bar end mirrors to mine and haven't looked back".
I thought the whole purpose of mirrors WAS to look back.

I saw that TMF review and his comment regarding the mirrors. All I can say is until he rides my Guzzi he won't know just how much a mirror can shake.
This doesn't last forever, so do it while you can.

My reply would be "feck off pal it's a single!"
The 500cc Bullet my wife had would rattle fillings and  teeth out when sat at the lights.

I liked TMF in the early days, but now he's pompous and compares a 5 grand budget biketo his new goldwing!
I won't watch his videos or that Richie Veda boke, in fact I'd rather cover my nuts in jam and teabag an ant nest!
