    Friends
    A mate is looking for someone to do a general walk around of a Blue Honda F6B at
    Dale Britton Motorbikes,
    5/115 Albany Hwy,
    Victoria Park, Western Australia, 6100
    It has hardly done any K's so he is just looking for a cursory inspection.
    He has seen the advert photos, ridden a local one and I have suggested a video exam.
    So if anyone is in the area?

    A few years ago a good mate bought an identical bike from Dale Britton, it was an awesome bike, super fast and smooth, we dealt with Dale, good bloke.................I was surprised at the price, brand new was $24k ride away, he traded an older HD tourer at the time..................a Streetglide was on special atm at Frasers, it was reduced price to $30k


    He only kept it for about a year and sold it, too fast he reckons, back to a Streetglide lol


    Reverse gear is a nice touch when parked downhill and have to go backward, from memory reverse gear is run off the starter motor, I might be wrong.

    Ok i did a short video but cant seem to upload it steelo .. so i will try and txt it to you later today mate .. overall the bike is pretty clean, bit of a scuff on left indicator cowl .. tiny white dot on right side pannier .. couple of bits of chromework just need a quik buff .. and just a dust down and clean .   Everything seemed to work ok but didnt ride it as i wasnt dressed for it , but it started fine and ran smoothly.. the rest of the paintwork was nice.. tyres were ok.

    I know a 90 year old rider with a brand new GW & another guy with one like that in the pic , the old guy said good bike for old blokes as has an air bag , then he pushes down on handle bars while it is on side stand & the bike just goes down so smoothly. you don't need to be smart to work out that would be one of the smoothest rides there is, they have unreal electronic's & safety features too, as I have witnessed the old guy put one wheel in gravel one on sealed road going fast in a bend ( no sweat! ) but I have not had any problem passing them. I think the new Triumph Rocket performs harder!But they are well engineered!!
