That was an OOF meet, so relevant! :P

.. only if you turned up, of course.  :P

Kevin

More relevant than sodding motorbikes every flaming day! >:( :P

 The point being Tunnie couldn't find anything rusty enough to arrive in.  ;)

 ;D

Kevin

What do you expect from a student??? :P

Should't you be out buying shoes or something?  :D

Wouldn't be debating it on a CAR forum if I was!!! :P

in all honesty, too big for your level of experience.
For a 4 cylinder, 600 is more than enough.Although most of those will be too small for you i guess...?And possibly not up your street anyway.

Difficult, tall bloke, just started ridding, would suggest a faired bike at least.

BM good size, but little protection and look top heavy to me. But then i hate beemers.

Not helping much am i?.... :-)

Hmmm, best bike for a Tunnie....?
.................penny farthing with a fireblade engine bolted on. :y :D ;D

Having a google....
sprint st
Abs model available, should keep you out of the ditch of the outside each corner given your trail braking habit, heated grips for winter, paniers if you like, looks the dogs imho, 1050cc but its a triple so not too pokey(woldnt go any more tbh)

Looks nice,just wonder if the seat hieght would be ok for Tunnie ?

.......as for talking about bikes on a car forum,as Tunnie said, in gen chat we can talk about anything,and there are a lot of biker members (including 2 of the admins) so its inevitable that we will chat about bikes sometimes,like any other subject, if its not your thing,no need to read it. ;)

BMW Adventure has one of the highest seats you can buy, my MT is around 31 inches, FJR is 32 ish, the adventure is 36, which makes a big difference for me.

Trouble is i can still flat foot the Adventure  ::)
