    My thoughts xactly,do me a favour post up the ride report only when your absolutly certain the last one at ridiculous money has been sold eh,mortgage is all finally downhill and i honestly lay awake for a night or 2 mulling borrowing some $ to put one of those in the shed,easy really its a whole lotta bike for an absurd price and definately one worth hanging onto for a very long time.And damn ya no doubt i will mull it over again tonight.

    And if it stays there too long the front brakes will be on my X, also in there for a wee fettle.
    Go soothingly on the grease mud, as there lurks the skid demon

    Nice bike James D. I've always found the CRs strangely attractive (or perhaps attractively strange). Hope you get everything sorted today. It'll be a fun commuting machine.

    I likes the two tone effect.

    Keep your filthy touring hands off my delicate Cafe Racer.

    I've given up commuting largely, and I'm hoping to spend a lot more time riding of a weekend.
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    I do know what you mean about sitting and admiring your machine though - Mmmmm BumbleBee is lovely
    I am immune from tassels as he is a Buell.

    From the Book of Buell, Chapter 5, vs 5-6: "No one will understand why you've done what you've done. In fact, they may even disturbed by it."

    Yes, it also involves the comprehensive range of Harley-approved accessories with which you can demonstrate your "individuality" (sneer).

    Book of Buell is a synonym for 'epic marketing fail' around this h'yar office.

    The business was wound up in the quarter after it was written.

    Meh: I bought a bike that I like the looks of, a lot, it was ridiculously cheap, and it goes pretty much like a $30,000 Ducati.

    Job done.

    Ahh! Now it makes sense (I was somewhat perplexed by this thread).
    I hope you're very happy with him, Dr Deuce.
    Congratulations!

    Oh - and thanx! I had to google 'Bucephalus', and learned summat new!

    A name of most awesomeness and appropriativity.
    ... and that's what I think.

    Or summat.


    Or maybe not...

    Dunno really....
