Were we all happy with the noise from my new pipe today?

I think the piss taking can now stop at the DG20 monthly meetings?

It's just turned 4000 miles (reg'd feb 09') was gonna ask you if you were the man to see about servicing the little fella?

I am suitably wealthy (is this a new credit scoring thing you have going on up there?)

It doesn't sound great Maz, it sounds the B@ll@cks (I think)

Not at all, tis just that since Buells became re-badged Harleys, I have become aware that deep pockets and/or a true appreciation of the brand will separate those that remain faithful and those that will sell up and move on :idea:

I'll give you a clue, I passed my test and bought a xb9r then had a xb12x the n bought a 1125cr, can't see me moving from the "brand" in a hurry, just don't want my bike monkey'd with by a novice!

At least, not until you've taken a test ride on something Austrian or Italian. :lol:

So the faithful will be basically the rich, and the poor greying (dare I say balding) and every day tubbier tuber owner! (I confess to being of the latter persuasion)

I sit on them every year at the bike show Norm, then the mrs tells me to stop pulling faces! The only bike I was happy sitting on last year was the CR, it just felt right. I did spend a bit of time on the KTM stand though :?
