FTO & Intruder 1400

Postby Dragonheart » Fri May 22, 2009 7:52 pm

Was doing a bit of messing with the camera the other day, got a few shots of Drew (who some may know as +1) on his Intruder, causing major noise pollution in the quiet suburbs of Glanmire, and then on my journey home, had to go through the tunnel for one last visit. :D

The FTO sounded far more impressive Martin. My father in law has a ride on lawnmower sounds more impressive than that bike. Only v twin worth having says Ducati on the tank :wink:

The bike has a lot of work done to it though Gary, she wasnt running when he got it, the chrome was all pitted, the paint was wrecked all over so he sprayed it all matt black, the seats have been reupholstered, the amount of time and work to get the engine firing up fully as she was only firing up off one cylinder was unreal, and the sound off it is stunning, mightnt be what a lot of people like, or what a sports bike fan likes, but to someone like me I think its absolutely fabulous. I love sports bikes too, Ducati, Busa, Aprilla, whatever, but theres always something special about the sound off a Harley or a large 1400 cc bike like this that makes a chill of excitment run through me. The vids dont do the sounds of it justice, it really is loud and glorious.

Fair play to the guy puttin all that work in, really satisfying when you bring something back from the brink.
