Oh dear ~ what have I done now ?

[Gonome]

Congrats OC. Better get working on that exercise bike to build your strength back up, as you will know it when that    kicks back!

You could ave had one of me tiggers! Granted they're not of the old variety but I would have straight swapped one for any KH you have standing around 

Happy Xmas Mate!

Ah yes, I'm sure you will have a lot of fun on one of those Rog, many moons ago a  mate of mine had one, very nippy, and sounded really nice, hes had siamese pipes. Size wise the Triumph will feel like a moped compared to the GTR. Let us know when it's here and if it ok with you I'll pop up to your gaf and give it a good eyeballing.

OC, how do the panniers and sat nav attach? 

[Winston Smith]

Nice Roger.  Not my cuppa tea tbh, but I would love something like that for Sundays out.

Lovely

With Winny on that one ... Not for me personally but if it pleases you then that is what matters .... Enjoy it my friend as I know you will.

Proper bike!
This is my next buy if it ever gets launched.

  I do worry about you Steve

That's the plan, when I'm not out with the "pink armband gang"

Royal Enfield make some very interesting bikes these days, and are definitely one to watch in my book

Ah those were the days, I actually owned a 1960 Gold flash, I remember it being a lovely thing to ride. It got nicked from a biker cafe in Oldham (The ranch) and I never saw it again, furthermore it was only insured third party, so I never got paid out on the insurance. I still have the buff log book for the bike.

OC, it looks fine with panniers.

[O.C.]

The deed is done ! 

However my aspirations of buying a Triumph have not materialised, as I simply couldn't find on e at a price that I could justify, and I have tried a couple out for size, and TBH a bigger bike is better for me. Triumphs are really are rocketing  (excuse the pun) in price, maybe if I can afford one day I'll get a Bonny.

So I've settled on the plan 'B' machine which is still a stunner but is more affordable and will still do the job for me....its a BSA A10...geoff will be getting all dewy eyed at this point 



I'll post better pictures when the bike arrives later this week.

Whilst I was in the Yorkshire area I called at Alan Jeffries BMW dealership for a nosey around ~ and Bloody hell they have got lots of stock in that big showroom, there could be some deals available soon..but NOT for me 

[Gonome]

Great looking bike OC. Don't know about Geoff but it certainly brought back memories for me. I had one in 1968, can't remember what year it was. Should have kept it as it would be worth a few bob today! 

[Lonewolf]

Did you buy the BSA from a shop near Foxes Corner in Shipley about a mile or so from Allan Jeffries.

[100milesaway]

Rog, Is that picture THE bike that you have bought, or a random library shot?
