Erm, I was wondering about this the other day. I was trying to put together a "cull list" because I've got too many bikes and just haven't got the space for them, as The Doctor has observed. The rationale went like this: Ducati? Nope. Not for sale. Just not on the agenda. Trophy? Too useful: it makes the 80-mile daily commute a breeze. CB750? Well, that's got to be kept at least until after Chimay. OK, 400 Four then? I'll never, ever get another one that good for that sort of money. It's close to irreplaceable. CD200: I use that for my running around London, and I don't fancy trundling into the City or West End on the Trophy. Dax? Doesn't take up any space anyway. DT50? That's going to be Jamie's. So right now probably isn't the best time to tell her that I'm aiming to buy a trio (yes, three) of moribund 400 Fours this weekend...... Anyway, I've only bought a couple of really shit bikes recently: the Yamaha XS400 and the Honda 500T.
Using the patented Mavis Beacon "Hunt&Peck" Technique, Champ Yes, Having sobered up slightly, I'm tending to agree. I've always quite fancied a GTR1000. Fortunately this one's far enough away to be more hassle that it's worth. -- Wicked Uncle Nigel - Manufacturer of the "Champion-105" range of rearsets WS* GHPOTHUF#24 APOSTLE#14 DLC#1 COFF#20 BOTAFOT#150 HYPO#0(KoTL) IbW#41 ZZR1100, Enfield 500 Curry House Racer "The Basmati Rice Burner", Honda GL1000K2 (On its hols) Kawasaki ZN1300 Voyager "Oh, Oh, It's so big"
It was somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the drugs began to take hold. I remember TOG@toil, Count yourself lucky, mate. Bloke I saw this week lives in an ordinary house in a close with 2 Scimitars outside. In the garage were another 3 and another 3 out the back. There's another 2 or 3 somewhere else too, afair. He seemed happy, though.
Would that be Mike C, who used to live in Kent? Absolutely lovely bloke, he was a FOAF and I was disappointed to have lost contact. He had a shed full of Broughs and bits of Broughs. Mike managed to scam an old Aston DB6 Volante as his company car. He then had it fettled up at the company's lavish expense, and bought it out at the standard *depreciated* rate over the 3 years of the contract. Respect is due. -- Gaston Pierre la Vachequirit Le seul vrai Anglais d'UKRM en Angleterre Béhème R-1100RS MDADSD #1
I've met him... looked round his sheds, too. To say he was a fan of the marque, is an understatement. ;-)
Bear says... Think lardier and slower shaft drive ZZR1100. Considering the fact that Nigel already has a ZZR1100, a GL1000 GoldWing and a Z1300 Voyager, I don't see where a desire to own something like a GTR comes in.
Champ says... My mate Allun had a collection of 8 or 9 MK2 and S Type Jaguars in a compound, all ready to have the banger treatment. This was when you couldn't give the things away.
He's already got a Triumph. -- | ___ Salad Dodger |/ \ _/_____\_ GL1500SEV/CBR1100XXX/KH500A8/TS250C |_\_____/_| ..73392../..18192.../..3184./.19406 (>|_|_|<) TPPFATUICG#7 DIAABTCOD#9 YTC#4 PM#5 |__|_|__| BOTAFOT #70 BOTAFOF #09 two#11 WG* \ |^| / IbW#0 & KotIbW# BotTOS#6 GP#4 \|^|/ ANORAK#17 IbB#4 '^' RBR Landmarks: 0 Points: 0 Miles: 0

Different man. 'My' Mike was a lawyer, and scammed the Aston off the Merkin bank for which he was working. I think it's too big a career leap to be the same one.
Well, if you see him again do please give him my warmest regards; not that this name will mean anything to him of course. Remind him of a pub crawl round Kent, with my wife struggling manfully with the Aston's ~150lb clutch pressure!! I am a "friend of Cicely's ex-husband".
Heh, no worries. Not been past his place much lately - will make the effort next time I have to head in that general direction.
