Re: What are you doing today ??

Car insurance is out of the question (£3k for a 2.2 tdci Mondeo) because of 2 claims last year on bike policy but this thing is costing me £54 for the year fully comp. Christ knows who comes up with these figures. I was looking at a winter ...

Re: New road going Desmosedici?

Cheers for the info Duke (y)

If there 45k I will be quite surprised but equally pleased and I do hope your mate is right.

Second hand 8 year old Desmosedici's are for sale between 40 and 60k depending on mileage.

Re: What ails you today?

I had a very similar lurg that kept me back from work for a week. It's been 5 weeks since I got it and I'm still not 100%. The appetite and lack of energy are still dragging on with a nagging cough. Bloody nasty strain going around this year.

... Welcome to the sale of my Triumph Daytona 600. I have owned this bike from when it was purchased new in 2004. I have had it serviced every year, but hardly riden it for the last 4 or 5 years, so it needs to go to a new home. I can supply all MOT's to warrant mileage, currently it has 5955 ...
