    Oh lord I just couldn't resist it. 31000 miles and in very nice
    condition with a sweet little engine. Really well set up it seems. Has
    six mounts. Complete new exhaust/silencer system. I think it needs a
    rear wheel bearing, new choke cables and the swinging arm painted to
    complete.

    Rather average non standard paint job but it was balanced I felt by
    having twin Brembo's and nice that this model has beefy proper yokes top
    and bottom.

    Should be able to fit an R100RS top half fairing I have spare. For
    "Winter Use".

    The chair is pristine inside and out with both covers. The boot is huge
    and I think a FOAD "accessories" battery in parallel to the bike item is
    in order with some nice accessory power points. Could take the chair
    off and fit a nice big cargo box (coffin).

    Still to decide whether to put the chair on the 100RS, or not, and
    whether to use the 65 as a daily commuter or sell it solo. What do you
    think it's worth Tog?

    Picked it up yet?

    Looks nice enough. 650cc so what's it's cruising speed, 55-65mph with
    the chair on?

    Plus a set of leading links.

    Looks good. Does it seem well setup?

    I'll believe it when he's sat on the ferry leaving Harwich drinking
    beers with the big boys. Until that point you're right and he's on
    some kind of Gay Pride hanky waving thing.

    Damned if you do and damned if you don't.

    So we've decided that Hog's a chutney ferret. Next question on the
    agenda?

    I've got the riggers boots and hard hat but I'm certainly not a
    construction worker so can I claim to be a cowboy?

    **** Off.

    I've got a twin room and there's no way the sweatie is stopping in the
    same room as me.

    I can turn the lights off across the country and create a 30 mile
    radius exclusion zone if I **** up. Do you sleep well at night?

    You know that they're short of beds in the hotel, and that you've got a
    double?

    Well...

    Well I don't know yet. The R650 is quite a torquey motor and I hope it
    will cruise at 80 up hills and into head wind. If it can't then the
    chair will definitely go on the R100.

    The weekend will see some "testing"

    I think my lifestyle puts me *right* at the opposite extreme TYVM.

    and like I would actually but the fucking 'Outfit and not use the damn
    thing. So Andy, if your brother isn't going is there a spare ferry
    ticket for a bike/rider??

    I think he's going now. He's found a new way to keep warm: pushing a
    motorcycle up hill to a petrol station
