As mentioned i was thinking of getting a new bike.
Well today i bought a BMW R12 RnineT. San Remo Green.
Pick it up Monday if it's not pissing down.
I consider it being my last bike i am likely to buy.

Re: New bike #2
Just looked at my packed diary it would appear the 7th is an empty page so who knows.
Insurance done on the new bike. £266 Benetts.

Nice bike Bob ,
The FJR is ten yrs old next year and I've been given permission to "look" for a replacement and fancy going down the BM route . Not sure which one yet .
Nowt wrong with the Yam but while it's still worth something and before the big bills start coming in .
Off to Ireland this Thursday for a two wheel adventure; but apologies; Ring of Kerry cycling sportive on Saturday 6th

Didn't pick it up yesterday, guess why.
Maybe today if it stops pissing down.

Re: New bike #2
44 miles on the new bike.......flat rear tyre.
Don't believe it, not had a flat tyre on a bike for decades.
The ballache getting it home.
Now i've got to get the wheel off and take to a man to repair/replace.
Kin hate bikes.
