    Getting old??

    I want to get a new bike sometime soon (redundancy dependant)....well a second hand bike to be precise.

    I have done sports bikes and sports tourers, and with 99.99% of my riding based in or around London I don't really need or want another.

    I fancy somthing different, really different, I was thinking of a C90 TBH but what with me being such a fat cunt it just would not last. I then thought about an old Yam XT350 but they are still quite desirable to bike theives.

    I've since looked at everything from old Triumphs to an old BMW Boxer twin to a Guzzi Le Mans, but if I'm really honest with myself I have no idea where to go with this.

    Any of you fuckers got any good sugestions?

    Good choice Von, but, I was really thinking of somthing a little more oddball.

    Any other ideas?

    If you want oddball then an old BMW GS thing is about as odd as it gets.

    That's what I was looking at S1opp, and yes Von, that's the kinda thing. I have a 1976 KE175 that with a bit of TLC would be back on the road but I fancy somthing little bigger.

    Failing that, there's a bunch of my brother's mates that have all got ex-MOD Armstrongs.

    They are certainly oddball enough!

    I'm pretty sure they are 350/500cc Rotax engines.

    With Harley Davison badges on of course!!
