decisions decisions....It's finally over!!!!

After riding the R1 for 360 odd klms today, I am not going to be looking at a sports bike as a long distance mount of any description in a hurry! My arse was killing me by the time I got to the W.G. bridge and even though it was a cool day today, the exhaust heat did it's best to fry my arse and the backs of my legs! But...that much power is a bit of a giggle!!! I'd forgotten how much fun it is to have the front lift at $2 just from a little bump and the throttle!

FMD.....I have told you a fousand times, you get the performance of a litre bike and the comfort of a supertourer on the 12 !!

FFS , how hard is it..

[Flywheels MC]

2005 Ducati Multistrada 6500kms (Might be too old-mannish for you though...) $15200
2008 GTR1400 Demo will be up for grabs shortly
2007 ZX14 New, Blue, deal of the century
Any interest?

That would most obviously depend on what you mean by "deal of the century" Nick ....if you were a diligent sales person, you might still have my telephone number to give me a call and chat to me about it?

Nick- if i pm u Marty's number, so u look diligent.. do i get a spotters fee??

Yes you do Neka. Marty, I'm sorry but I accidentally posted your business card with your ph. number to Neka in his Xmas card. I have been inconsolable since then but he is sending it back to me I just have to pay for postage. How much spotters f... I mean postage do you want Neka?

That's R1's mate, the original nut roaster IMHO. The only one I've ridden gave me a sore arse within about 5-10 minutes of riding it

...not all sports bikes are as uncomfortable

Yep. He's got me thinking about one as well. Now's he's Skippy the M3/ZRX Rep.

[Slow and wobbly]

Shut up and buy one of these Marty.
It will fulfill you on so many levels -
1. Solid and reliable
2. Cheap to purchase and cheap to run
3. Performance upgrades are but an afternoon in the shed away with nowt but a hacksaw and a hammer!
4. Gain a better understanding of sidecars
5. Prove yourself as a rider by rounding up the wannabee's on the latest and greatest.
6 Built for touring - There are "windshields" and "saddlebags" available as accessories
7 Why bother with Premium unleaded when Kero will do?
8 Break down? dont look for a dealer any old welder and a pair of pliers will do!
9. Chain and sprocket? Nah fencing wire and a HQ flywheel pulley should see you right.
10. Cause it would be an absolute laugh!

6 Built for touring - There are "windshields" and "saddlebags" available as accessories Hard luggage you idiot??
7 Why bother with Premium unleaded when Kero will do? Gee how tempting...will it run on maria's chip oil??
8 Break down? dont look for a dealer any old welder and a pair of pliers will do! With the regularity of the breakdowns, it may have to be taken with you.
9. Chain and sprocket? Nah fencing wire and a HQ flywheel pulley should see you right. Another really tempting feature...
10. Cause it would be an absolute laugh! For you perhaps.

So... have you narrowed it down yet?

[Benno]

I guess it depends on how much he can get for the Bimmer, might get more if he sells it privately! I think he should go check out the Fizzer S

Now now Narfie! I'm not the one who rode a Hhhhh... bah, I can't even say the word!

[Strika]

No closer really to deciding what I am going to buy. Thoughts have ranged from a well set up ZRX1200S/R, to a GTR1000 to a Versys with top box and panniers!
