    The holy grail - or graily hole, whichever you prefer

    so I am looking at tardme. So far so usual. Then I realise there isnt one bike that I look at that I dont go :Yeah, so if I buy that I have to budget $1000 for Robert Taylor to look at the forks, $2000 for a new rear shock, I dont like those handlebars/that seat/those tyres, whatever.

    So what I want from you, the imaginary voices in my head, is a link to the one bike for sale (anywhere in the world) that you go "Yup, that is perfect and I wouldnt have to change anything". And I will ridicule your choice because, well, because.

    My entry so far is one of these:

    though I am not sure how practical it might be for going down the shops for some fush n chups.

    That's a really nice bike. Put some S21's on him and away you'd go.

    Patrick Godet is on speed-dial, merely waiting for Powerball to co-operate.
    it's not a bad thing till you throw a KLR into the mix.

    probably a decompressor for an electric start. Godet markets ES conversions for them.

    Reckon my hearing is too stuffed up with motorcycling over the years to appreciate really good expensive audio gear.

    You don’t need to actually listen to it – people look at it or you tell them about it. Otherwise how will they know you are serious about your audio gear??

    Its a bit like having a flash motorbike....
