Hi Everyone,
I guess I am an old f*** contemplating 1125R ownership and have an eclectic (always wanted to use that word!) taste in bikes stretching from Douglas flat twins, Norton rotaries, MZ 1000 twins etc. etc.
Have always been impressed with the Buells at the Shetland Classic Show..
Anyhow, am window shopping on the likes of Biketrader at the moment, and am seriously tempted by some of the offerings. Not unduly put off by the slave cyl, oil/water weeps/leaks/charging issues (spent a lifetime doing that!) as a Pan does the serious 'commute' to work.
So may be scratching on a B to a watering hole near you in the summer?
Cheers to all, and lets keep it between the hedges in 2012.
