If I wasn't married to a 6ft 1" feisty German woman it would be in the house, pride of place! but she's bigger than me and considerably more violent !!


Had you ever considered an older grey/greenish BMW with a sidecar ??
They were used to tour Europe.  :stir:

hehe... 
she said if I ever get a Harley or similar she will divorce me for being a Saddo, the leather waistcoat would be the final straw and nasty things would happen to me!..  so I've got Harley brochures being delivered and secreted in places she will find..  HINT !!

I have 4 bikes and 1 wife - why can't all 5 shut up when I take a key out

Well..... a few years back  I sold my GSXR750-K8 and got a brand new BMW GS1200 Adv...  she went purple and lava came out her ears and generally I was slapped with a "Ban" (if you know what I mean)....

Sold it after 3000 miles due in part to the Ban but mainly due me having very short legs on a very tall bike and not being able to put me feet down.  hence the GTR1400

It's cruel that they can use the "Ban" Stoli. It's funny how powerful it is when the gates get locked though.  :thumbs_down:

You young blokes . . .  Ya got it all wrong!  The ban can work both ways ya know. You disable that tool in their arsenal if you adopt it first,  -  the bike stays or else . . .

At least with the bike u can jump on and ride for as long  as u want and whenever u want !!  :)
The older I get the better I was
The problem with retirement is that you cant take a day off

Aaand, the bike won't get all shitty if you ride another bike . . .

But that's an old one Stoli from 2014, what's it like with the Yoshi headers and the new cans on the back (louder I would assume!) that you've fitted since

Yep, like I said an old one!  didn't realise it was from 2014 !!!  I'm losing track.  need to change it too as I only have 2 bikes now ..  oh and one nutter-crazy-fast VeloSolex 660!

Yoshi headers and the custom Y Pipe into the 200mm delcaviks - erm very low and very deep.  noice is quite nice but it makes kids cry and old uns jump

Well. It's all coming down to today.
MOT at 1.30.

It's all done... I think!!
Apart from a few bolts I'm not happy with and an undertray that's not the right white and is causing me acid reflex every time I look at it.

Finished article photos will be posted if it passes.
