Lots off good ones out there, and the we are in the autum now so the prices will be dropping, so great time to buy.

Decisions decisions...is you budget lower now you have the Drz, or is it all still on plan?

Its a bit lower now as I bought the dirt kit (Wheels, fairing, tank etc.) so I can change the SM over to a dirt monster and back :)

I want to be patient with the storm. I'll probably wait a month or so unless something comes up thats fits. Ideally I want one that has had the shock replaced pref. fully adjustable. CCTs done. After market zorsts. and fairly fresh consumables. A big ask perhaps but patience is key. I also need some money left over for the renthal conversion and the braided lines possibly.

The thing is, money don't hang around with me for too long. 8O
