the Strangford ferry is a particular favourite of mine

I fear I may have started a rebellion. 


It does release some feel good vibes though doesn't it. I'm hoping to get out again tomorrow.

Once the lockdown is lifted I'll be taking the coast road Belfast to Portrush, Roger.

Been too long since I visited the Ramore for a bite.

We haven't visited Stevie, just googled it and it looks great

sorry to say I actually am. Like I said I like the colour and it has only done 345 miles 2017 in a very nice bluish colour with all bells and whistles.

Could it be this one Peter ?  it looks nice, especially in that colour

The owners of the Ramore Wine Bar also own Coast on the ground floor and the Harbour Bar 50m away. I was talking to one of the owners recently and he told me they had the busiest eaterie in Europe. Food great in all of them. Harbour Bar voted best Guinness in Ireland. With the NW200 cancelled next month, it'll hit the area hard. Spectating is free for 95% of places on the race course. 100,000 spectators. Best atmosphere outside IOM TT.
Next year.

If you mean mine, thank you. Bought the Blackbird new in 2001.  Sold it 2007.bought same bike back in 2013.  Runs like a new bike. Loving the GTR1400 bought Oct 18.

That blue BMW is a real beauty. Colour really stands out.

That's expensive for the year. It's a well known fact that the K1600 has the largest depreciation value of all the popular BMW bikes, hence why you can pick them up so cheap. I notice that on one of the photos the engine management light is on, that's not normal. It also says in the particulars, 367 miles, two previous owners!!!! Two previous owners at 367 miles?




On a plus, if Pete does get a BMW that will put him right in the firing line for some heavy duty piss taking so it's not all bad and I would encourage him to buy it.

I also wondered about the low mileage and 2 owner scenario.. it seems slightly odd

Oh yes, I'm a long time supporter and spectator of the NW 200, ..........amongst other things my local classic bike club have put on bike displays at the Church Hall in Ballymoney (Just below the Dunlop Memorial) during NW 200 week....obviously this year we won't be putting on a show, which will unfortunately adversely affect our usual charitable donations

Maybe BMW should think carefully before selling Pete a bike. Whilst there is a chance that he might turn into their greatest advocate, if he doesn't the dealer and manufacturer will probably never hear the end of it all!

yep that's the one. Indeed mileage is 345 originally owned by bmw. It's the colour that attracts me. If I was to buy, unlikely, price would have to go down and engine management light would need to be out.

I regard that as a great compliment Colin. I only say the truth.
