1100: What model and year would I buy?

[Arronduke]

Sounds so easy... descide what you want and buy it..!

Yep thats how it works... for some... luckey bastards... their wifes have melons like the summer fair, John Holmes is in the family tree... close. And they have someone who washes there stable of bike in a bikini bottom only... while they sit down in the sun have a RED obviously.

Well that was a nice dream... only bit we have in common is the RED... bit. See rich f#ckers drink red too.

Me.. I got the red bit sorted just need to work on the rest... (looking up at the house... thinking... bitch your folks could be rich!) sip of red and thinking... could be worse my name could be Euan Macdonld... Enough said.. but i reakon us kiwi bikers should band togeather and send him a Bain knitt... you know that jumper... Euan would like that i am thinking.

Anyway back to 1100...

Step one... buy a cheaper bike... say you will keep it forever... other wise you will not be allowed it.
Step two... pay it off.... kids don't need everything and some school provide breakafast... move schools.
Step three... wait
Step four... and now you have to act fast... Step one tells you you can do this.... think you MUST have this bike.. now act.... make sure the value is exsactly twice what the first bike was...or cheaper. Very important.... !

Step five... ring in a panic.... "I MUST HAVE THIS BIKE NOW" now the step is not huge... borrow 100% now... then sell the first bike, borrow the same and strike... key is the wife's head has dealt with this before... same descision. Borrow the same amount or better still cheaper. and come up with a plan how you can save $$$ so it will not cost her.... obviously a lie.. but hey not my fault it sound so good and the math did not stack up!

My apologies. I thought you were suggesting he should change the wheels to later model ones.

When I looked closer I realised the bike had already been bastardised.

What a shame.

I dunno, It is a good mod and can be undone if "it has to be 100% original".
I have a pair of 86 G wheels and axles, speedo drive etc.. just missing the cush and sprocket carrier.

[Katman]

It is a good mod.

Refer post #9.

See post #9.

This from someone who didn't even notice that the wheels weren't original... or that the rear guard has been castrated? I think not
