    Just thinking aloud here.. I know I want a new (to me) bike but what
    would be really good would the opportuntity to do (for example) a 7-day
    swap with a ukrm'er (was that apostrophe inappropriate? I think it was)
    who had something "interesting" and who would enjoy the change.

    Waddya reckon?

    I have a similar vintage R1150GS and a Sprint ST is on my list of potential
    additions to the stable. Although, I'm more interested in a more recent
    iteration.

    I love the 955i engine, though. I'll be off work from 17-27 Aug if that
    helps. I don't have any real plans yet.

    As far as insurance is concerned I have CIHAGM cover, third party only
    obviously, through C Nash.

    Exactly the same here. Standard CIHAGM rules of engagement would
    obvioulsy apply.

    I assume you are not a short arse, then?

    Where are you? I'm in S Wales, about 30 miles north of the Severn Bridge

    It'll make a man of you. Especially your clutch hand. And your sphincter.
