At least you still have the mighty thou, and won't personally add to the 600 death rate!

I was considering putting my Fazer away soon and buying my mate's £300 GS500 hammerite special!

You buy one thinking it's a one night stand (one season ride), and end up marrying the bitch! :b

Post by: Hedgetrimmer on 27 November 2013, 08:16:26 pm: :rolleyes You guys should take this as a compliment. A good winter hack needs to be reliable, durable, comfortable etc, etc. More pluses in the 600s repertoire.
