    Whilst I am a dreamer, I'm not such a dreamer that I'd ever believe I could even get close to you with one handle bar mate! Fuck that!!!

    Fuck! I knew it would be expensive but didn't see that coming. I see BMW have a carbon fibre frame model on the way too - homologation special? Thing is carbon frames break on push bikes, I couldn't have much faith in a carbon motorbike frame. Even one that cost that much.

    156Kg is fucking impressive, but yeah, regardless of the structural design limits or failure mode when actual CF does fail you get a loosely connected assortment of serrated knives. Not something you'd necessarily want accompanying you on a wee slide down the road.
    Go soothingly on the grease mud, as there lurks the skid demon

    Bloody heavy 4 stroke!

    I might win that 44mill too so you'll have to split it. I don't buy tickets mind, but figure that doesn't significantly change my odds.
    Don't you look at my accountant.
    He's the only one I've got.

    On the contrary, buying a ticket increases your odds 100%. Unfortunately, the statistical probability of having a winning ticket is still astronomically unlikely.

    Strangely enough...all of the winners have one thing in common.

    But the non-winners of the ticket-buying subset - have even more in common..

    Too bad about BMW, & Dave is correct - they had a direct injection 2T ready to go, but lost their nerve & sold Husky to KTM..

    A 140 Kg 900cc 2T road triple with an easy going, clean 'n' green economical 195 hp could've been a real goer..

    I might get given it. Or find it. Or there might be a clerical error.

    Could happen.

    Could find it dumpster diving in the trash.

    Gotta b Bin to win.
