    The Dominator thread

    Why am I starting a Dommie thread you may be thinking ?
    Well the other night I was left home alone and unsupervised for a little too long and ended up buying one
    I've been keeping my eye out for a cheapie to hang on the back of the camper and capable of doing 2up rides for a while and kept going round in circles and getting back to the dommie for a number of reasons ie, Quality, reliability, weight, PRICE .
    So now I own one ,I havent seen it yet so will have to wait till thurs when the very kind XF650 (who just happens to be going to Invercargill with a trailer ) picks it up.
    He will no doubt be letting us know in detail what a piece of shite it is or hopefully what an awesome bargain I've scored ,so roll on thursday

    I had one for a few years, did NI tour up to Cape Rienga and back, totally cool bike.

    Wanted to buy one instead of the DR last year but the $$$ difference made no sense at all.

    No, it's a shemale dominatrix - this is a "dual purpose" thead.

    I just hope she/it is in better nick than the last bike I picked up for someone from Invercargill - TM pic's can lie.

    That's the thing. Everyone owned the same one.

    Yep, I got one...great reliable bike. A little oil thirsty but sweet as if you keep on top of it. Mine has a 23 litre Acerbis tank too which helps.

    Here it is;

    I couriered a Dommie in London for a while til the motor seized because of an oil blockage, fixed it up and sold it to a guy who was going to ride it round the world.
    Great bike!

    Me too! Me too!

    I had a 1995 model for not too long. Not a bad bike at all - was one of SideTrack's favourites - but I wanted a proper trail bike. Got lots of Sidetrack articles about them if you want a read. Greg Power also had one for two-up adventure work, IIRC.
    Cheers,
    Colin
