    That's a badge of honour around here, isn't it?

  4. Whatever you do, don't send me a copy; not until I've built me
    new bike shed with active and passive surveillance devices, anyway. I
    quite liked the look of the 3-1/2 when it came out, and the reviews were
    good, but few were seen in the backwoods of Far North Coast NSW. Or
    Canberra, for that matter...

    Well, I've ridden one and they are a lot of fun to ride. And about as
    high-tech as you get on 125s...
    I've had one and I didn't like it that much...

    Agreed, the look kind of grows on you. I certainly wouldn't buy it
    simply because it's beautiful (as it isn't)... That said, it's on my
    list of Italian bike that I would like to own at one point.
    Never seen that, actually. Got a link?

    Which is why I'm not that interested - I reckon it's worth about
    1000-1200 and I've got the feeling it'll go for more.
    Indeed.

    There are 3 of those mounted on big springs in our local kiddies playground.

  14. Hmm, are there disk-mounting holes under that cover on the right side
    of the wheel? I'd rather swap the forks like I did on my similar-vintage
    GT380M to get the caliper closer to the steering axis. This fixed a
    slight weave I'd induced by fitting a handlebar fairing which obviously
    moved the centre-of-pressure (and maybe the centre-of-mass) forward
    w.r.t. the axis.

    Not that I'm making an offer, you understand!
