WANTED: Futura

#1 Post by Willopotomas » Sat Oct 11, 2014 7:36 pm

Yeh, you heard me right. I miss the v-twin grunt, but not the hunched over riding style. I'm swapping the ZZR1100 for a BMW K1100LT, so will have that as a bargain tool or to sell to raise funds. I've also got two K100's on eBay to help build the coffers.

So. W.H.Y?
Most motorcycle problems are caused by the nut that connects the handle bars to the saddle.

talk to mart


Let's face it, you wouldn't go to a nurse to get good advice on a problem with a Falco - you'd choose an Engineer or a mechanic...

For the avoidance of doubt and for the benefit of my wife, not everything I may say here will be absolutely true I may on ocassion embellish a little for effect.
That said when it comes to motorbikes, I like to ride side saddle with a nice frock

Would it be an abuse of my admin status to delete Geoff's post, as Will is shortly coming to view my Fut?

Are you flogging yours then Mart?

If my physio keeps telling me I need a more upright bike for longer journeys, that one Geoff posted might look interesting ..... it's not that much more than those adjustable bars that people were recommending for the Falco !

You don't know the half of it!

Mart. More than keen in your steed mate. Have stopped looking for the time being. See what kind of a deal we can thrash out. :smt001
