Did it come with the Charley and Ewan proof coating? You'll need it if your skin ain't thick enough.

According to the other thread, I am the most argumentative type of biker as a Ducati and GS owner! biglaugh Truth is, there are so many great bikes out there, and there will never be enough room in the garage. From an ownership proposition, however, some are just better than the rest winktongue out The only thing missing is the flip-front lid and beard... scratchchin

Looking good Ade - is that the non-adventure model as it doesn't have the spoked wheels?

Yep - the standard version (got it in TE spec with a few extra toys). Tried the Adventure version, but found it too wide and unwieldy for more spirited solo-riding. If riding 2-up or into the wilderness of Zimbabwe like Steve, however, I suspect the Adventure model is the one to have!

Decided against the cross-spokes as they are a pain to clean, and the spokes need regular tightening.

I can grow a beard and already have a Scala'd up Schuberth flip front so I must be a candidate for a GS surely ?

D'oh! That would not be cool with a GS!
You're spot on with the winter months view... and we'll see what's what when the new Multi is out in June...

very nice, was in the BMW dealers admiring those bikes and will be booking a test ride soon along side the new S1000RX. They offer some very tempting Finance deals so may consider getting one as i can't afford the 12K to buy outright.

I look forward to hearing how you get on with the bike

Fine weather in Thailand makes biking a daily event. Just bought this CBR 300 and it is ideal for here. Max top sped 160 ks, anything faster will be a liability here. Had everything from a Matchless 350 to an Aprilia RsvR, but this is a great fun bike. Not sure if they are released yet in the UK. Cost 130,000 bht here, about £2600 new.
The wife can ride too, as all Thai girls seem to use scooters from junior school upwards.

Nice day for a change - sun came out, blue skies, not too chilly and the roads weren't too filthy. I guessed most folks would be out Xmas shopping and it would be quite quiet, and so it was. Went for a wee chug around Fife and only saw 2 other bikes - a Fat Boy and a Pan. I guess all the sportsbikes are put away for the winter now wink

But of course once you decide it's not necessary to dress like a Power Ranger you can actually put on some warm clothing to keep toasty smile

Chilly Willie at Super Sausage Café this morning. I lasted 25 miles as the roads were a bit damp for my liking, so no real fun on BSB Pirelli's.
