Come and have a fang on it.
I had a 640E previously and it's similar to that, but I'd be interested in riding it back to back with a 640a.

Thanks, it would eat the adventure, as I have the weight but what do you get for range on that tank then? I see you can get bigger tanks too....
We will meet in time I am sure at some ride, so yes, would be interested to see how it goes?
Kick it easy? Do you practise? The adventure is really easy, I had to up North when the bike took a liking to the rock pools at Poutu Point....hehe
My starter had to be disconnected as it wanted to go by itself when I turned the key....Like a battery, kept going and going....

Now, I kick it a couple of times for fun....(and kick start it too)

Kick starting?
Easy. I think you have to regard the starter on the SXC and E models as more of an electric assist as frequent use (on snotty trail rides) does drain the battery quickly.

So you bought the 640A on TradeMe last week? That was going with some BMW gear....

Bugger, thought I might have got a bit more mileage out of that.

Yes.....those BMW riders must be a weird shape tho, it fits nicely all round except the waist, I could carry my sleeping bag in there as well, must drink more beer to conform to that shape!

So, before the high commander notices 3 bikes loitering around the property, I have to shift the 990, looks like Tardme is looming...last week of special price for KBers.

Rushes outside to move bikes into different places to confuse SWMBO

So the phone call was not wasted afterall, knew it....
Disappeared off Tarde Me fast......
