Default My bitchin' set of wheels

2005 F650 GS Dakar.

It's slower than a moped & I'd prefer to filter through traffic on a cow than this bike but it has great suspension - I keep telling myself off for aiming for all the lumps & bumps in the road and it's really, really comfy.

It has heated grips, too. Heated Grips - they're a bit like cheating, really!

My next door neighbour wants Artoo. No chance. She's got 2 dogs.

........thats just cos you can't ride it right yet.

Had some fun with one of these driven by an grinning old geezer (late 50's,early 80's 1piece race leathers) for a while and he could really make it shift. ****ed on my SV away from every set of lights. Sky high riding position too.

Cool bik

.....and good luck on yer wee trip.

Where you off to?

Nice cat, shame abot the bike though. I hate most beemers with a passion but if it's for off roading or trailing then it makes sense. Good luck with your adventure, wherever it may be!

Ah your cat is nuttier than mine by the look of it. Nice bike and very comfy to sit on but not my kinda tool for filtering either but i'll have it if you're giving it away.

Or i can give you all the loose change and fluff i find down the back of the sofa if you prefer. Its like Deal or No Deal as i have no idea what might be bck there either and i could be giving away a fortune you know.
