Sold the R1100S. No boxer.

Postby eyore » Mon Oct 26, 2015 8:01 pm

Afraid the R1100s has gone. :? Took it on a lovely final fling about two weekends ago down to west Cork for the weekend, but the riding position is killing my legs and shoulders, I know I could arse about with peg droppers and vario bars but there is no boxer in the garage for the first time in years.
Anyway replaced it with this :D Love it, so far.

Eyore,

your bikes have about the same life expectancy as a Premier League football manager

Enjoy the new ride :D

Did someone pinch the fairing - looks as though something has gone missing at the front - :?: :?: :oops:
There would appear to be a surfeit of prolixity and sesquipedalian content today please do not use a big word when a singularly un-loquacious and diminutive linguistic expression will satisfactorily accomplish the contemporary necessity

The clue is in the category, naked. But yes it needs a flyscreen at the minimum or I will have Neanderthal length arms by Christmas. :wink:

Absolutely , I am an OCD cleaner of motorcycles. I will admit to buying cotton sheets in Tesco just to cut them up as polishing rags :oops:
Wish I could apply myself to housework to even half that standard. :roll:
