Will keep an eye on it though.

Nah, you need a 950 you do, it fit you like a glove.

Gotta admit that just sitting on yours felt just about perfect. Thats why I didn't take it for a ride when padmei told me too. Too much temptation.
Dunno whether to go more dirty or more roady really. ????????????

The BMWs at the moment have a lot of appeal, even though I have only ridden one about 100 metres, and didn't particularly like it. Go figure

Don't get sucked in by the hype- they're purely for working on

If the XR650 was leccy start it would be perfect for you I reckon.

Both my auctions were started within 10 minutes of each other last night and the PD has 50% more views and 4 times as many watchers as the 950 so far.

I've had offers to swap the PD for a RS road BMW, and to swap the 950 plus cash for an '07 1200 GS.

Any ideas how long a pair of sticky outy cylinders would last with Woodman driving?

I would be impressed if he broke them, they are pretty strong.

Ages, it would be purely a road bike with maybe a wee bit of gravel if any caught my eye.

Haha, off topic, but I got offered a jetski for my car. Told the guy the only place to ride it around here would be the shit ponds.

I've just been watching some of the footage of the Australasian Safari I got on my DVD today and someone was racing a mono GS in it. It sounds pretty mean too.
