Consider another V-twin as a back up?? I can recommend an old Moto Guzzi or a CX500. You get a slow heat radiating into yer knees from the pots (with the V twin sticking out sideways, your knees sit directly behind them).

They're also good for keeping yer hands warm on chilly days out riding, as the pots stick out a fair bit, they're easy to rest a damp/cold glove onto whilst on the move (clutch hand is easy, throttle glove needs a cruise control plastic mod added to allow you to take hand of throttle, place hand on pot, whilst keeping at a steady speed).

If you use a Guzzi or maggot in winter with a full fairing, the rising heat coming at you is most welcome!

funnily enough.i always liked the guzzi daytonas.they don't do anything the storm carnt do better apart from warm the bones.i do like the look though.m&s Newcastle have one and an 888 to sell I was having a look the other week

Well it was faster than the Ford ! I think a lot of that was lack of weight as it was a bit sketchy handling wise compared to the Ford...Better wipers...but what a shite gearbox/clutch !

Happy to have the Ford back TBH...

Mayby a newer less thrashed VW would be OK...

mine was delivered to me with 3 miles on it, now done 76000 and still sweet i breakdown a hole in the air intake pipe at 1200 miles, been great since. Superb build quality for a van.

I was sat on the bog having a good poo as you do when a pigeon flew into the window (bang) it made me jump off the seat knocking the last roll of bog roll into the pan !.

Lady towels ain't great for wiping ya japseye:-(

In 6" heals

can't wear my stilettos with this knee, so that is friday night ruined as well

Today I decided just to see how unfit I was. So I decided to do some sit ups and press ups.......

Needless to say I didn't manage many. I did get into 2 digit figures but then decided to call it quits. Got a glass of water and sat down.....

You know when you've pushed your body a bit and you start to feel a bit sick........

Well I got that and while sat down........

I felt just a little bit of gas pass,and then it hit me.....


Oh my days!

That's one way to make yourself feel worse I vacated the room and it followed me oh dear. This isn't good
