smiles per mile iinit
i just get fed up at the stupid prices that are attached to owt with a adv tag bolted on to it ..

i probaly remember me old wilderbeast as being one of the best bikes i had by way of creating mermorable rides....scooted me around fo 70k miles over 7 or 8 years ..us posh euro zone folks are too sophisticated to have the new klr grubbying up showroom floors ..keep seeing the prices in america ....5800 quid brand new .. that would shake the job up a bit .a no bullshit mk1 landrover . .loved that bike id have another tommorow if they would bring the feckin thing over ..grrrrrr :D

Yay, T6.6 - mine's still in the garage. Not as simple as the old A Twin, but so much simpler than the T7. Speaking of modern but simple bikes, got this 'Scrambler' last year.... ok, it has FI and ABS, but otherwise it's about as simple as you can get. A great bike for me for general summertime pottering.
