Ooh! Is it cocktail time?
That's one of those burning milk bottles innit.
For the trendy version you put a raw coffee bean in. It floats on top and roasts in the flame. Adds a nice flavour to the unleaded. :thumbup:

On and off ebay etc. I'm keeping it now, doesn't get used much but it's a great bike, can be used for anything, a very, very versatile bike and have decided it keeps it's place in the garage.

It's easy selling if you need cash for something but if you don't and it's not in the way and you still like it, it's very hard to let go.

When I did a euro trip last year, that bike ( sounds daft this ) was my best friend, started every morning, never let me down, was absolutely brilliant and because of that, it's stays.

Sorry about that, anyway, that is a lovely looking bike, 👍
Yeah, I kept thinking I'd ride it again. When I brought the Africa TWin I kept it thinking I'd get around to it, but I just didn't. When I took it for the MOT the other month, I was reminded of what I liked about it so much, its so torquey with smooth linear power and is as gentle or as mad as you want it to be! But, by the time I got back home I was in discomfort in my left leg and knew it was time for it to go.

After washing it yesterday the old thoughts of just keep it started to creep back in, but I know its of no real use to me so was pleased when the guy said he'd have it. Annoyingly I followed one into work today and it sounded lovely! :roll:

I was looking for something in there this morning and found some nice condition blue spot calipers and for the life of me I can't think why they're in there or where they came from! :think: :D

They'd sell on the bay,at the right money. They pop up on lots of upgrades and customs.
