  1. A 701 Moffat to Edinburgh is spectacular
  2. Went out for the first time on the bike in six months ( post stroke) very pleased with myself!
  3. The last one I bought from Bennett’s at Doncaster, who are keeping their dealership, and they were excellent to deal with
  4. I had the same do it ! I lost 700 gbp over two years on the 1078 buying new and made on the Dragster ( couple of hundred) they really kept the value
  5. I had a Dragster 2014 model I also had 2010 Brutale 1078 rr neither caused issues and both where reliable, had the 1078 for two years but the Dragster for one and traded for a Super Duke
  6. Sadly, limited to a clean, but they looked nice in the sun
  7. Started the pair of them up. First time they have seen the light of day for seven weeks. I still can’t ride them but they ran for 15 minutes

    I have basically lived your statement, I have had a lot of bikes over the last 5 years , really I started changing around the lockdown period. Everyone of them had its positives and negatives, and how prices were moving I only lost on one of them. Each one of them was a dream at the time, and some illusions were shattered. I have tried to live the dream, and could afford it when on bikes, cars I couldn’t afford to do it. And my hairstyle definitely backs up your statement

    BMW R 9 T

    A interesting bike with the BMW torque twist, that I think is great fun. Basically 1200 cc. Flat twin non standard exhaust 115 bhp 53 mpg, pretty comfortable and handling is lovely. Lots of trick bits to buy. Shaft drive is a big positive and basically I would recommend it highly for someone who likes the thought of a naked bike.
  10. Had a green benelli 1130 and was pulled out on , I had crash bungs on the bike and it punched a hole in the wind , I went round the ‘a’pillar and we bounced off about 5 meters down the road. it took nearly 5 months for parts and repairs. When I got it back , 4 days later a van reversed over me at some traffic lights when he decided he was in the wrong lane. I changed the bike fo a bright yellow one after that.
  11. https://www.facebook.com/richard.h.whalley/videos/994852931127214/ for those that have never heard or seen a Buell
  12. As it’s Christmas Eve, and I am mellow, I thought would offer you a variation on the Jacob Marley question. Best bike you’ve ever had Worst bike you’ve ever had The bike, if money had was not an issue you would still have ( you have to have owned it) Merry Christmas everyone!
