Re: Two wheels good.

I fancy buying a Triumph, having sat on a couple and found that they meet my comfort requirements. Both the Bonneville and Speed Triple seemed adequate to me. My old man had a couple of Speed Twins, so I will be carrying on a familial tradition.

Re: Two wheels good.

In what category are you wondering then? Wants would be...not too massive and heavy, ABS, maneuverable, decent quality, relatively upright riding position, not some ultra rare thing that costs a fortune to have fixed. Doesn't make me look too much like a cunt. Dullville? Why is ABS so crucial? I'm ...

Re: Two wheels good.

It was officially rather chilly riding down to my mum's today. Even with the heated jacket cause my legs got cold. I've got some chinky doodah copies of the V-strom handguards to fit for winter, but forgot to order the longer pivot bolts for the levers they attach too, so they aren't on yet, meanin...

Re: Cars you always wanted, then didn't...

Alfa 156. Maybe the one I drove was a bad example. I've been scoping cars on Facebook marketplace recently and noticed there's loads of recent Alfas of different flavours on there. None of them are that pretty, especially quick or luxurious. They're kinda dull really, the equivalent of all those av...

Re: Cars you always wanted, then didn't...

Goes for a lot of 'classic cars' really. There's still some oddball, technically interesting beasts that I could fancy but the overwhelming majority of rammel no longer interests me. If you're going to have a motor that rusts, is a cunt to find parts for drives like a skip on casters or breaks down ...
