    I don't know.. I'm a bit of a tragic, fanatic, obsessive but I'd gladly get the whole lot and give it to one of the chaps in The States who own one of the Brittens to bring it home and get it back into running order.

    Nah I meant I'd still be a Righteous Bro


    . . . I'm not exactly sure what that is - but it seemed to be a thing when perusing a mates 'In The Wind' magazines he got from who knows where when we were like 13.
    Fortunately I decided choppers were even uglier than the tattoos the wimin were defacing themselves with, which occasionally was a terrible shame, but often irrelevant.
    Don't you look at my accountant.
    He's the only one I've got.

    Haha that brings back memories of spending paper round money on second hand USA Chopper magazines. I had the Easyrider poster on the wall in my bedroom next to a Farrah Fawcett poster (red swimsuit, erect nipple..... ah good times).

    Righteous times indeed.

    Did you have Tennis Girl hidden behind it?

    Ha! A mates brother had that one.
    Don't know how his parents allowed that.

    I think I'd just buy a new gixxer 6 to replace my 96,000km 2008 model...and a place with a decent workshop to fart around in.

    Yeah, bikes are like golf clubs, they all have a specific design function to a greater or lesser extent. A Lotto win would let you consider the more focussed bikes 'cause you could have more. And you could build a bigger shed.

    God I feel old saying this but...
    My first reaction is a bike I already have... but a mint one.

    CB1300.
    Maybe some suspension specially set for me.

    Other bikes ring my bell too but I dread the thought of not having one.

    I'll have one of those KZ's as well.

    I fail to understand why the factories do not do a limited run of a bike like that - after all they have everything they need in the sports model - just the work needed to strip and tidy it into a kick arse looking naked.

    Roland Sands did a nice Honda one some years back.

    Suzuki could have easily gone this direction with their GSX semi naked of recent years.

    There is a guy doing a kit for Hondas - I'll find it - as it is on my wish list and you've reminded me.

    Yeah. Someone said $20 million.... That would do it. The barn, the tools, the machines, the people to teach me how to use it all so I could create my own dreams.

    And a digger. So I could build a track to ride them on.

    Probably some nubiles, too.

    A bit less than $20 mil and I would settle for a Suter 2t to look at.

    The movie is a little wank, but watch it. - hell yeah it sounds good, now I want one.

    I don't buy tickets, but that won't dramatically decrease my chances of winning, statistically speaking it's close to the margin of error.
