Damerells

Recommended Posts

Had a productive morning, won't mention the house work part least you see the thumb print,  after that got the top box fitted to the Himalayan.  I am not sure if I can live with it yet, fits fine just part of me sees it as a hideous carbuncle rather than useful storage.  Price was obviously right as I bought it 12 years ago and it wasn't a premium purchase (read cheapest I could find) back then.    Then went out for a bimble up To Damerells to look at the pretty shiny.    I am guessing they have just had a RE delivery as there was loads in the showroom.  I saw a really lovely Beemer that tickled my fancy plus a new Z900 that wasn't too shabby.    Saw a nice looking Harley as well but how many letter do you need to describe it 🤣.  To lovely old CBX's on display there although well up out of reach.

They always have decent stock there, I didn't snap the half of it just what interested me.   They did have a couple of Africa twins that looked great but I couldn't have one so they don't hold my interest much.    They had a Kawasaki W800 there but I was disappointed with it in the flesh, as that is my sort of bike normally.  I did like the R Nine T though I could see myself on that if I had a spare 9K hanging around and a garage to put it in.  😉

 

Top Boxes, Meh,  water off a ducks back mate 🤣

It is nice,  not sure I like the radiator, but on the whole a lovely looking bit of kit.  

I still prefer the look of the original though!

Yes without doubt the original is a work of art.  But if you or I did own one it wouldn't get ridden much for various reasons, if you had a new one though it would be silly not to ride it 👍
