Cheers, I didn't know that i may be a regular there then. Looking forward to getting it tbh i just wanted something fun and not serious. Now the real spending starts for all the extras. My misses was with me when i bought it and said with a straight face i hope you don't want a t**t suit as well.

Pick it up tomorrow if weather is ok already spent money on a few extras. I bought it as I want a giggle on my bike not to compensate for anything I really don’t see how a 200 bhp super bike is fun, sold my monster 1200 (145 bhp) because it begged to be t**tted everywhere getting old I guess

How did I miss this? Lovely bike Veg, I always loved those BM sport colours and really liked the cafe model in the same paint job they brought out a couple of years ago. I had an 1150GS a few years back when I fell into the McGregor/Boorman trap and it was a brilliant machine. Big torquey thing which wheelied like fekk when wound up. I am in no doubt you will have an absolute hoot on yer new beast Enjoy

Had an 1150 Gs just before the Mcscott and Boring thing hit and loved it, then suddenly everyone wanted them and sold it for more than i paid. It is a right crack only ridden it home from the dealers thus far but it is everything I wanted and I keep going into the garage and looking at it, already spent too much on after market bits.

Fablon? Can you still buy that stuff? I thought it disappeared years ago when Blue Peter went all high tech lol.
