I'm not sure yet, but it's fun finding out.

 

I wonder if I'll be speaking to you by then.

At least you got some great weather for it. Mostly.

Hmm I looked sideways, momentarily, at a VW Camper today

 

Assuming you mean me, I'm not convinced that I'm discerning, nor a
gentleman.

 

Nice lawnmower.

 

I'm somewhere in the middle.

V-Strom

Tiger

 

"Dirty, dirty, Uncle Bertie"

 

"off-road handbag", as davethedave has it.

 

what about a futura, if you want something along the lines of a vfr?

 

wibble flip etc. I don't recall coining it, but then again, I could
have done.

 

AndrewR banged the rocks together and they said :

I tried this and the Be(e)s objected.

Surviving, and looking at Americal muscle cars on EBay instead of doing
work thanks to some other cnut...

Nice to hear from you again.

 

Jolly rank hat, I know, but I may have found the answer.

This little devil ... http://tinyurl.com/2ozqr5

Given that there's a couple of places in MCN today giving them away for a
shade under 7 grand.

Against my requirements list from the other thread ...

Bigger than a sports 600 - Check

Not as big as a hyper-tourer - Check

Comfortable - Erm, er, quite possibly, yes.

At least as fast as a three-quarters shagged ZX-6R - Check, check, check

OK with luggage - **** it.

Reliable - If I do mad things like running it in, getting it serviced,
washing it, not chucking it at every bit of scenery I go past, etc. It might
be OK....ish

And it's in budget and, doing that thing you should never do and taking my
own advice, it's one of the most stunningly beautiful bikes I've ever seen -
especially in silver. I've always said, if you do nothing else right at
least buy a bike that you think looks nice, because then you haven't got to
open the garage door every morning and think, "Why did I buy that ugly pile
of shite".

So, it appears we have a winner. A telephone call tomorrow, me thinks.

Oh, and £466 for fully comp, business use insurance ... I'm very, very old.

FFS Champ was right, you may as well buy a 10R or R1.

4-T Aprilias are shit.

 

i don't see why not.

more aprilisti, yay!

 

Everything's shit ... or hadn't you noticed?

The Aprilia's gorgeous. It might be gorgeous shit, but I'll try to focus on
the first bit.

So, who's first[1] in the CIHAGM queue?

[1] After me and Eddie, obviously.

It was when I fed all of my requirements past Eddie and he suggested that I
needed a CG125 that I realised I've already got something that will do
lap-tops and luggage and 400 miles in a day, etc.

Um, does anybody know what critical mass is for Italian vehicles?

You've also presumably checked the spares situation, which at least
used to be rather dire.

Just figured that this may be a useful suggestion given your likelyhood
of making holes in the scenery.

 

Generally one is all you need.
