Six30 Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 i'd have @Mawsley wife scooter , after she's rode it for a good few hundred miles, in hot weather and got all sweaty on it... then i'd take the seat off it and sell it to @Tym 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XTreme Posted July 6, 2021 Author Share Posted July 6, 2021 Do you guys reckon that some people buy bikes based on what they want to be seen on.......rather than the bike that's actually right for them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pedro Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 I wouldn’t tell anyone I would never want their bikes even for free, so I won’t, but there are more of those than the ones I would want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did it once, on a DT 2 stroke, was not a good day .. its my intention to learn so im looking for a few training days at accademy of a friend. Its good to improve ridding anywhere. I just never liked the look of any trails, and although i dont want a GS like @Pedro, it is the best bike in the World. C'est ça!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Specs Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 On 05/07/2021 at 12:36, Pedro said: You can’t have mine, Pete, get your own I would choose between @Buckster’s Harley and @Sofia’s Speed Triple, or probably @Specs’s GS, can’t hurt to have two Likewise Pedro. Another GS is good. Does everything that I can do, and is comfortable to boot. The T7s are nice too although too tall for me. Seat is too hard and the top end whine from the Africa Twin spoils it for me. Something like Pete's bike will be the next sensible option I think. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Idiot Henry bloke on the Motorcycle show rose one and it now looks pointless large and heavy. They need to make DR/XT/KLRs 600/650s again. Or, if they do, they need to sell them here. A 600-700cc single in trail-bike form is the perfect bike for me. Enough ooomph to get you down the road but light enough to pick up when you toss it down the trail........... All hail the mighty Donkey 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a guy up in the North-East who has imported five from Canada, 2019 and 2020 models. He is asking £7,400 for them (on the road price), if it was nearer to £6,500 I'd be on my way to collect one . Me and my mate (Sarge) have looked into importing a few times but it's cost prohibitive at the moment , if we could find someone in the States to store 5 of them for us for a year and fit used speedos so they look like a second-hand bike then it would be worth it as then the tax implications would be far less. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Contacted the bloke and he said it was mint. Drove for an hour and a half - the thing was a bucket of shit with engine problems. Boy I was angry. So you bought a scooter? You knob jockey. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skippy Posted December 15, 2021 Share Posted December 15, 2021 I’d have @XTreme’s BMW so he couldn’t post pictures of anymore abandoned stuff. I wouldn’t accept any Harley as I couldn’t cope with the shame of it 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
