On the radio today Britain is to bask in a Indian summer next week, temperatures set to hit anywhere from 80f to 84f. :huh:

Can this be true?

Well they did say back in 2011 late September early October we were enjoying 90f.

Weather is looking positive so fingers crossed.

Here's to your summer.

Looks like I'll be at the last of this years 'local' airshows then.

I hope I'll have my motorbike by then to enjoy the last good days of the year.:-?

I'm sure you will :O:

Ooh, what did you go for in the end? :hmmm:

Congrats for passing the test. :yeah:

Fixed

Well, I'll start small with a former schooling bike of my driving school (if I fit on that thing that is , couldn't test ride it yet). A Kawasaki 250 el "Eliminator" which I will get for a steal (after ca. 15 years of forced prostitution in a driving school and having kissed more tarmac than John Paul II he couldn't make it expensive after all :D).
I'm not much of an acceleration or top speed fetishist so the cute 27hp might be enough for me. We'll see. The thing is scheduled for the repair shop for maintenance and the mandatory technical inspection (I think you call it MOT in the UK) for the end of this week so I could get it early next week (if the current owner actually gets it into the repair shop in time...).

It looks comfortable. Just don't start raising the bars and dangling strips of leather off them or we'll have to get you a trip on an R1 to convert you towards the speedier side. :O:

I think the R1 is ridiculously overpowered. It pretty much begs you to vaporize the speed limits and do stupid stuff. I don't actually care for power and top speed (and the R1 would probably scare me crapless.:O:).

Yep, used to scare myself on R6 so on R1 I'd probably be dead! :dead:

I had a go on a mates Thundercat (YZF600R) and it was like an armchair compared to my R6, and just because it can rev to 15k rpm doesn't mean you have to (often!). :D
