I can't help it. I just don't like second-hand-looking bikes.

I've lost count. Must be around 70 in the last 10 years, though.

I don't think this is Phil TBH... mildly funny though.

try "not having any money" - that usually does the trick.

****.

 

aye. Even having a go on other people's bikes, I doubt I've
ridden 70 bikes in the last 10 years.

 

K+N filter + Aprilia race cans + chip, + 15T front sprocket = serious
wheelies + acceleration :>)

 

Actually I think it was the tyre - it was some sort of patched touring thing
that looked well past it's best.
That's why I was so disappointed, as the VFR has rave reviews everywhere -
but when I rode one it was a let done.

The brakes are superb though - and that was the non-ABS version.

 

What the _fuck_ are _you_ on about?

Um, about 300 bikes owned in the last 25 years.

 

darsy wibbled like a little girl....

I'd had over 100 by the time I was 21. I was a part-time bike trader
though.

He truly has taste, style, individuality and a very pretty bike.

I have a PDF file of the factory ES 250/2 manual that may be of some use.

I've had my Guzzi for 9 years, scabby Supa 5 for 7, ugly ES Trophy for 2.

I have no idea how many MZ's have passed through my hands, other than
lots.

 

You are 'avin' a giraffe, aintcha? Soon as the ashtray is full, he'll
have that swapped for summat even more fuckin' ludicrous than his
current crop.

Words fucking fail me.
