Not running, July 07 floods went up to windscreen. Drained gallons out of sump after three years. Might want a bit of "adjustment".
£3100.00? were you wearing a mask and stripey jumper?
If i decide to change my budget would be £3000-4000. As you said, plenty about at good prices. Could soon change with better weather though.

Re:Bike Fever, Again
'Adjustment' is the word alright.
Dave, next time you're over I must show you my new Tiger 955i; the seller has just accepted £3200. I think I have a good deal.

He'll be reporting it stolen when he wakes up.
I'll take pleasure in admiring it. See ya soon.

Re:Bike Fever, Again
My 2010 bout of bike fever has passed with the purchase of the Tiger 955i. The 240 mile ride home last night (on one tank of fuel) was one big smile. More later with some pics. I've now got some serious farkling to do.
Mirror extensions
Bar Raisers
Triumph Off Road Can
Engine re-map
Crash bars
Screen – I will conquer buffeting.
Twin dip headlight mod
Radiator guard
Oil guard
Front mudguard extender
Top Box
I'm sure I'll find lots more must have essential stuff over the coming weeks and I might even get around to riding it.

Re:Bike Fever, Again
Now you have the new Trumpet and have listed the "must-haves" to make it the ultimate ride, get yerself up the tool shop. Buying tools is as much pleasure as buying add-ons.

Re:Bike Fever, Again
You know I haven't been this excited about a bike for years. I've had the bar raisers and mirror extenders through the post this morning and went weak at the knees opening the bubble wrap.
I've pretty much got most all the tools, it's just that I haven't used them in a while. You're right though, I need to buy some new ones for the buzz.
The Tiger is over at Arden Motorcycles in Alcester today getting a full service, can't wait for this weekend and a long way down ride to Hertfordshire. Are you getting out much these days Dave?

Re:Bike Fever, Again
The new bike buzz, can't beat it.
It's a great time of the year. When the weather's right, get the bike out and go for a spin.
I've been out and about some days with the missus on her 125.
Time to get the Trophy taxed after it's winter lay up. Much better for the two-up trips.
Still can't commit to changing the bikes, every time i ride the Africa Twin i realise how good it is.
Pic from Nomandy last year to remind me what it's all about.
