I need a commuting hack, pronto

Oh yes? Over here, anything over 40k km is considered old.

 

Serious question: do bikes made for the European market not have side-stands
on the right?

 

A possibility there. The annoying thing is that I have an XL500 that I
need to collect from Paisley but time to get it seems to be in short supply.

 

<ponders on whether he's being whooshed>

Erm, no.

 

So doesn't that make them tricky to park pointing the right way on roads
with a camber? DYSWIM?

 

Serious answer: no.

My advice as your attorney is to buy a motorcycle
To email me, neal at my domain should work.

 

You are obviously looking in dealerships rather than private sales, dealers
always sell above a minimum floor price. Try ebay, gumtree, local newspapers
and suchlike for an older hack.

 

Errm no.

YAATC? Yes.

Erm, wrong, I've yet to set foot in a dealer's premises.

 

I have a nice little MZ250....

 

I wondered what was taking you so long. I'd forgotten you were over
these parts this weekend.

I think I've worked out a cycling route now. I was scouting it out this
morning and they've basically dug out the whole width of the road to a
couple of feet, but it looks like I can just cycle through the diggings.
Just like the Belgian geriatric that was passing by at the time.
