Tbh...... I have decided to tinker with the bikes I have.
The panels for the futura go in for painting tomorrow.
And I have plans for the storm trooper.
And I have two restoration projects to do.
But yes I have looked at the buell.
Tolerance will be our undoing.

He's been threatening to buy one for a while. Looking at the camera angles on that video the Benelli must come with a fairing Nooj.
Where ever I lay my hat.....

Should be with me late next week.
Been looking out for the rare RS model for a while now.
Looking forward to the spring, me being a fair weather biker and all that
6700 miles from new. Two owners. Last owner had it nearly nine years with full service history.

With this one he just needs to stand behind the bike and get a blow
.............................. from the two fans.
Then he's off for the Sunday morning ride, once its warmed up.
It looks good Jay!
Can't wait to hear how you rate it.

Sweet, I've seen a few and really fancy a Tornado Tre. Is the RS the 900 or 1130 engine?

That looks sweeeeet Jay !
Actually thinking about it why do you need to wait until spring, hasn't it got a radiator under the seat?
I don't care if you lick windows,
Take the special bus
Or occasionally pee on yourself.
You hang in there sunshine, you're special!

All joking apart.
I suffer from vibration white finger and the cold can be unbearable on my right hand
