... increase again. When I'm not working or fiddling with the bike you'll find me hiding in tankslap towers hiding in the dark room at the back making sure the site keeps going. I love my bike and I love blasting round on country lanes, but I wouldn't consider myself a fast or even medium fast rider. ...

Iconic and still desirable indeed. Dunno if I could afford the upkeep.

I keep looking at the t595 Daytona or first 955i which are now about 5k Aussie or less in winter... I'm sure I could afford another set of stands, spare some extra garage space and justify the cost of club rego and insurance....

I do say that a lot at work...

Im sure he's going to be fine Di,they treated me mum there as well,other than that I think I may have sold my Fiesta so that means a few extra quid towards getting the Z650 finished off

Agreed. He made Clegg look a fool imho. I'm not sure thats a good ting or not.

... under stones and on British roads these days. Godzilla - you've been missed matey, its good to find old acquaintances on here again. Itchy - you sure it wasn't "Ahoy hoy" á la Mr Burns? Moonie - yes I remember you well, shame you left, but I understand why. Everyone else - many thanks ...

not sure if this stuff is any good, mixed reviews

Are you sure it's not just the sunglasses that make it look better?

Not sure about that Mac, my bikes black and white and both parts are equally as much of a pain to keep clean.

Yeah I'm not sure I'd want all of my rides recorded lol....

I didn't do it Guv honest...

... just carried on oblivious to it all. Taking out 2 bikers in 1 manoeuvre, that is a special kind of idiot, so just be careful out their guys as im sure there are plenty more people like him out there!

Rizoma ?

I don't understand how people are so civil about this or am I just a hard barstard? Haha! I allow my dad to ride my bike because he is insured to do so and he rides regularly too...however i agree two different bikes altogether! This guy wants to go from a 250...pretty sure it would be less ...

Thanks guys. I guess as much as anything I needed someone to reasure me I wasn't being a ****. Next time he asks I'll suggest a dealership test ride and see how he responds to that. If he reviels that he hasn't got a valid uk licence for bikes on top of ...

One thing I would look at given your location is a dual-sport bike such as a Suzuki DR650. Good mileage, good for highway and all around commuting, plus the power to do 70 mph plus. Not sure how available they are in China though.

Best of luck and what an awesome adventure you are on! (Y)
