Default Re: Saw this today in town!

yep wr250- fun to ride and great size for getting into the nooks and crannies that the mis guided youth of today are drawn to, i'm getting paid to do a job i love on a hobby i love. Plenty of grunt for its size to get up steps and quite agile suprisingly.

How long do they get kept in service for?

Wonder how cheap they are at the ex police vehicle sales/auctions...

I always nod the Polis bikers, and always get one back!

Noticed more and more "regular joe's" not returning the old nod/wave recently

I always nod at the police...rarely get one back. Must be met or kent.

I'll keep an eye out, see if any come up for sale in the ex police stuff.
