Ain't got the nerve to steel a bike. I did pinch a Kit Kat from the corner shop once.

Is it wrong that I saw that and my first thought was "But his car wouldn't leave tracks like that"? Yeah, I'm a lot of fun at parties...

Is buck getting rid of bodies again. https://uk.yahoo.com/news/fire-tears-historic-jenners-building-133149749.html

Not so much funny but interesting for some ....

......but could I live with a bike that has less power than my scoot.

I may wash the car today....I am sure that under the grey coating it is red.

Quite mild here today, if it carries to tomorrow ill be getting the bike out.

I've seen a map like that before, it's hard to imagine that those states are bigger than our country. On the other hand the population of Colorado is 5.8 million whereas UK is 67.3 million .

I have no idea. Most state borders have rivers or mountains defining them. That square area must be the random lines that were sold / stolen way back when. Nothing there except the town of Amarillo - I have a bike trip scheduled to go there in late April - if I can get the bike out. I shall endeavor to find out why it is shaped like that.

Feckin freezing riding into work this morning

So Marcel is going in......what can go wrong?

is he .... permission to go in sir

no ..that cunt is to drunk

no... he's still having his tantrum

This just went live......it's the Spanish equivalent of the JFilters site that went out last week: Fabricante de Filtros de Aire

Not the greatest choice of brand name to sell in the UK

Probably just a photo of someone else's bike, you pay up front and get feck all.

I believe this is the reason Clive!

Oh yeah, we have lots of 200 miles long stretches of road with no services, really gotta plan out your fuel stops. Not much of anything out there. And it gets worse into Utah, Wyoming and Montana. Have been on trips where others have run out of fuel as their bikes don't have very good range.

Just wondered, with the rest of its border being irregular, then it turns to dead straight and almost a square.

Irrespective of the power I wouldn't want to live with one.

Seem OK today, although I have not done anything yet...

Another week.......and more shit on the way.

Who would steal a POS like that?

Wouldn't be the first time.

It does sound exceedingly cheap.....looks (from the photo) in decent nick. As the saying goes "seems to be too good too be true"

has it sent you a pm giving you a severe drunken warning ?

Maybe @Six30 would be up for riding a Benda?

That often makes me think.......see so many on Marketplace...no V5 Me....never lost a log book/V5 in my motoring life....

Just started it up......first time since Xmas Day. Fired as soon as I hit the starter, then ran it for about 15 minutes to let it get up to temperature. When will I be back out? Well I'm slowly recovering from this flu, but the weather forecast for the next couple of weeks is pretty brutal. So it may be a while!

Could be worth a look but why no V5?

How's the flu recovery Clive?

A bit better here....no frost or fog this morning......still only 4c though.

I did like the ones Derbi did a few years ago, the Mulhacen 659, using a Yamaha designed 660 single. They tried to make it look less classic scrambler and more modern dirt track, I once tried one out but ended up not buying, Maria was the prospective owner and she found the whole thing a little intimidating. It was a fun bike to ride around town, though. If it was for me alone I would probably ended up buying a XTZ660 Tenere with that same engine, even though it probably felt slower.

Even more then the other one??!!!! Not fair... so many kids without a motorcycle...

My God!!!!! Some dealers dont manage that much!

Or you could go the whole 'hog' , this is what my mate Keith Noble had when we were 16

Let me ‘borrow’ it and I’ll keep it running for you. No charge.

Shouldn't take much longer than getting it up to temperature. you need to make sure all condensation has gone from the engine if your storing for a while

With the temps today (about 5C) I may be waiting a long time for the fan to kick in.

If your leaving it for a while run it until the cooling fan kicks in that way you know its nice and hot and the fan works

Spares aren't a problem you can buy practically anything for then from Germany, you used to be able (haven't checked recently) to buy modern fuel injection kits to fit to the old aircooled twins, as well as upgraded alternators and many other bits. Granted probably not from BMW themselves but there is no end of specialist support for these bikes. It's all about money and how you measure the practicality of running a 30 or 40 year old aircooled twin and how much you really want to do it.
