yes i do tend to go on a bit tima but,you cant help yourself when you read this type of stuff, is that a monkey stealng your classic ? Im Irish and we dont manufacture motorcycles,german ,italian , british , nipon , russian ,and american , I have tasted them all and there is none so sweet .but this guy has some real issues here, I have a bmw k100 nearly 20 years old all still original,165 000 miles ,runs like new , gave it to a mate to tour europe , tyres cables brakes petrol, no problems , it is much faster , more economical,handles better, the tour pack fits a lot more in , its not as expensive to insure or tax,parts are cheeper,the list goes on but I love parking it up to take out the king ? I think if you dont get it you just dont get it.And this guy sounds like he just isnt gettin it !
