ha what a title.....well as some of you would know i had a unfortunate incident last year involving my missus and a lil gift from the stork....this caused us to flee from the big smoke and seek cover in the far far far north where my beloved GSXR could not go so it had to go :bye::bye:
my ride these days is a 2006 honda four trax with some great mods like a fish bin on the front for carrying stuff and a peice of ply on the back for the dog to sit on....its great for moving stock but not so good on the road as it handles like ass and has a top speed of 65kmh on the open road (paddock).
not exactualy what i want to make my return to meetings like the ATNR on....

one year on.....my lovely partner said to me...."you should get another motorbike since you love them so much".....what she really said was...."get another fucking bike if it will make you happy" and.... "im sick of hearing about how you had to sell your beloved GSXR".....

anyway...thanks honey i think i will buy another bike.....

but what to get...... i was thinking about another sportbike...but then thought about getting something classic like a motoguzzi or some type of cafe racer....

but then i do have all this farm land to thrash a dirt bike on... why let it go to waste...

any sugesstions

thanks

Get a Ducati Multistrada. Then you can thrash it just about anywhere - on road, off road et al.

You'll have to go a bit further than Ponsnobby to hear me scream at nut job car drivers though...I've moved too.:rofl:

yeah stop buy anytime Steve the door is aways open for you two..and there is more than ample bike parking....

i was just looking at a DR650 aswell but an 2003 model...just had the thought that if i go for a DR or WR i can get the best of both worlds road and dirt!!!

this has got me thinking

BTW the Honda FourTrax is good bike. My old Big Red 300 goes like a bulldozer over Thompsons Track. Very slowly, but nothing stops it.
