XTreme

I think just about everything is out of the window this year Ian!

If you've got a KLR I can't imagine any scenario whereby everything in the world is right Pedro!

If they're in good nick they tend to hold their value pretty well......so you're probably looking at about 3K up @Skippy

Did this mid February!

They must have very tolerant wives then!

Makes no sense to me! It's like having a bird on the side and not fucking it!

I left that FB group after only a day there.......thick twats are now going on about fucking Politics! I can't take any more of that shit! Or ludicrous conspiracy theories! That's why I made sure I included this in the Forum Guidelines: It would be helpful if you could refrain from posting topics of a contentious nature such as those related to Politics or Religion.

Superb Alan! Fantastic quality vid.......what camera is it?

Yeh.......but at least you had teeth Alan!

So it's a slightly less smelly turd then Fred?

Only one bike I'd consider.....

Chinese!

No big deal going round without your underpants Fred! @Renegade has gone round without his teeth for 40 fucking years!

Chinese motors? ?

Love them.......and the YR5. And looking back the GS750/GS1000 and Z1/Z900 have aged well too. Once it went into the 80's all the ludicrous angular styling came in.......that stuff looks really weird now.

Yeh.......first job in those days was ditch the stock tyres. Remember the weird feeling when you first put TT100's on........the bike kept on wanting to drop to the side!

Remember those Yokohama's? ?

@Muddy.......given the choice of any classic.....I'd choose one of these: a red GT380J from 1973. Why? Well it's certainly not because it's the best bike I had in that era......that was my GS750. It's because it was my first NEW bike.......April 18th 1973......the week before my 19th birthday. When I got that it felt like I'd finally become a real biker so to speak. Don't forget, that was considered a big bike back then. If I had one now......how would it improve my life? I certainly wouldn't have young birds eyeing me up as I went down the street cos they don't do that anymore. And if they did I'd probably get put on the Sex Offenders Register. And thinking back was it so great in 1973 really? A month after buying the bike......My alltime hero Jarno Saarinen got killed at Monza, and a month after that I met my first wife. Then it was downhill all the fucking way! Mistakes like that last a lifetime.

Thing is there's very few modern bikes that fit that niche now......only the XT660R. And generally most early XT's here have had a pretty hard life.

His name's bizarrely? That's......bizarre!

DR650 is a good bike.......but they were never imported after about 96. So very rare. The one I had in 2010 was a German import to the UK.......then it was imported into Spain. 650 Strom is what you want Ray!

Bruce needs a lot more medication than just Penicillin Pedro!

Especially when the tank slapper kicks in! And then of course there's braking in the wet!
