BMW 650 Funduro

And trust me folks; this is a very powerful fundament of nature.
I've been the victim on all three new bikes I've bought and so have many
other aus.motions (the latest being wierd Al).
It seems like the only way to fight it is to do a JL/Corks/GS and buy
so-bloody-many bikes that it can't keep up (although it still nips at
clutch-levers and incidentals).

 

All the way from South Australia; can you?!!?

(clears throat)

Could you please **** off back to using Doug's posts as triggers for
your hysteria, Gerry?

 

If you can't read a post you're replying to properly, how much of your
response is an actual riposte, as opposed to venting looking for an
excuse to pop?

 

New or used, makes no difference.

 

The problem doesn't seem to be the size of the rider, but the size of
the bike. I don't think anyone is going to argue that you should
attempt trials on a big chookie. A few others have argued the point
that the F650 is a far better bike in the tight stuff, and I'd agree.
Reckon it comes back to the size of the bike in the situation, not the
size of the rider.

Failing that, BMW is going to have to put signs up in their shop like
in the fairgrounds, you must be *this* tall before you can get on this
ride...

Welcome back, Gerry.

Moike

 

Ah, so that makes it a sports tourer!?

 

I agree. Can only ever remember having one bike that was the exception.

 

It's got a Superbike engine, eh Moike!

Good luck to you.
I've heard a bloke can make a few bucks in Sydney these days; selling his
arse ....

 

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Hey while Golf is considered a sport I don't see why riding long distances
at modest speeds while acting superior should be excluded!

 

Ah, mateship

admits to a bit of post-tampering

 

Have they been able to set the leg in a position where you can still root?

<checks calendar in case Anzac Day has been moved forward from next April>.
Nope. It seems we've earned a bonus 'woe-is-me' tirade this year

Conehead
a little bit blokie,
because of having my buttons pushed.

 

Wouldn't it make more sense (and be more comfortable) just to rent it out a
half-hour at a time?

Conehead
Just curious

 

Bravo!

That's very insensitive of you, Conehead.

Here's this bright young thing lying injured, possibly unrepairably,
and you joke about it? I mean, Mosfet said she might even be
_written off_.
