Out and about

Been out today looking at a possible second bike, down at BMW. Had a look around and got a test ride booked on a K1300R tomorrow. Thing is though, as much as I like the look of it and no doubt will enjoy the test ride tomorrow, I am still tempted to just sack the whole idea and stick with using the Falco for everything and continue with the mods.
agreed

Not sure if they still have the Tiger in Bovington at the moment, but I could acquire one from the German Panzer school

I suppose if you have no friends, like being shunned and being pointed at by lots of laughing people ... still I hear theres a very nice Fazer around

If I had a Tiger tank, other peoples opinions would be irrelevant. Going to speak to Nooj about Fazers tomorrow, as I am up that way and he has "a bit" of knowledge on them.

I reckon you'll be very impressed with the K1300R

I've decided that I need to find another Falco and take a different route with it. KK1300R was bloody nice, but very clinical in it's application.
