Borris the author could only be described as a short sighted fool

For someone who looks like a Harley rider, he sure seems to quickly forget which type of rider invented the industry of paying far too much for an old piece of shit with some added chrome handlebars.

Heck and Harley's been cashing in on it for decades, selling old bikes as new and charging a premium under the guise of "heritage"

Nothings changed, apart from the old fat bearded men who don't know how to ride their overprices POS are being replaced by skinny young bearded men who don't know how to ride their overpriced POS

Boris is a shit stirrer, I yelled out at him once "Hey Boris.............when we going to see you on Media Watch again". He didn't know what to make of that :)

Don't get me wrong... I find hipsters as annoying and ridiculous as the next (old) man, but if they wish to don stupid beards, wear shit clothes and ride CX500s or even (please no) RD350s that is up to them.
Fortunately I have no idea who Boris is, but reading a bit from the above link he sounds like a right daft twat!

"That being so, I struggle to see what benefit motorcycling will derive from accepting a bunch of fuzzy, inner-city, out-for-a-groove fashionistas on shitty old bikes into its bosom.

Yes, and you can get off my fucken lawn, too. "


Boris is a self righteous opinionated troll - don't feed the troll :lol: .

I could say a lot of other nice things about him as well. :$

(I read the blog :vomit: - not that I like the trendiods he describes but it is just the pot calling the kettle black. Boris is a bludging trendiod himself)

Those Canadian WW 500's are as rare as the seller says and I know they have gone for around the $20k mark previously. They were the only full power WW RG500's to be exported from memory and it's why they had the same normal white faced RG clocks and no fuel gauge like the JDM bikes do. Still makes you think, you're just paying for a paint job only, nothing else fancy about them...
