Hello. My name is Gubb.
I used to post on these boards a hundred years ago.
I desperately need a set of wheels, it's actually going to kill me if I can't get on a bike by the end of the year. Any spectacular deals going for around the $5k mark? Budget is still tight due to Mortgage, renovations and small mouths to feed. Was looking for a halfway decent SV1000, but can't find anything I like under $6.5k. Maybe i'm being picky....
Preferably Sports/tourer style, 600cc or over.
What I would give to have my Streety back.
How's life with you peeps? Is that SMOKEU cock dead yet? Is skidmark still alive? Is EJK still a virgin? Have the Mormon Few risen to the heights of international stuntman superstarsdom?

Were you gone? So why no bike for so long? You're talking a huge budget. 5k bought my tricked out YZF750SP with $$ suspension etc & that would run rings around a skoady SVthou.
But on a sensible budget you can't move for VTRthous on TM for $4995. Won't set your pants on fire, but a mates had one for a decade & it does everything you want including floating wheelies.

Yeah, after selling the FXR I took 4 years of no bike holiday, then went nuts.

$5k is plenty. There was a 929 that was really tricked out going for about $4k recently.

Check out Honda ST1100s, lot of bike for reasonable prices. Handle quite well, V4 engine and low fuel tank place the C of G well down. Eight for sale on TradeMe.

You know you've been a KB member for a long time when noobs turn up, learn to ride, then go on extended absences and return like a veteran. Hehe
Welcome back. :)
Same old shit, just a few new trolls.

That's a bit mean. I rode a mates & (after I fought to get it off the sidestand using every fibre of my might, as it was slightly leant on the camber of the road) I pulled into the next gas station as the tires were clearly flat. Except that they weren't & looked new. I'd have to rank it as the worst handling bike I've ever ridden this side of a CX500 custom with knackered everything.
So I guess I'm a bit mean too.

VTR1000 looks a goer.
As soon as i finish the Reno at home, it'll be buying time with the leftover.
Woohoo!

I was gonna say next to your taste in music (i.e. whothefuckknows?), but then Iggy Pop started on your Jukebox, and I realised I can't stay mad at you big guy.
In the kegarator in my gargre (is that still a thing here?). An award winning hoppy-APA of my own creation. All yours.

Ha - I'm similarly padded at the mo'.
I spent the first year back home lounging around the pool and sinking piss.
Back on the programme now though. Should be pretty fit by New Years.
