Airhead or Oil Head??

[Smartbazza]

I have been registered to the site for several years and previously owned an 11gs.

I am a bit fed up with my sportsbike mates only going out on good days March - September and on jaunts to the usual places. So I'm looking at getting another gs as I think they suit winter riding more than my Ducati and I fancy get involved in the local gs runs.

I was thinking of spending around 3K (may change) on either an 11 or an airhead possible a 100PD.

Sensible question: I like the idea of owning a timeless classic airhead but as my riding is all on the roads and I like a fair pace at times do you think it'll suit?

Anything out there? Would the last of the airheads be a good buy as I know very little about them?

Anyone know the whereabouts of TCZ 7043 cos I'd buy it back?

TIA Barry.

Hiya Barry, good to see you back again You know you want one, go for it, why not an 1100 again? Know someone who might be selling a white 1100 , pretty ancient, late 90s manufacture but still going strong.

Problem is his missus loves it for touring and he wants a Multistrada - she says the seat's a plank and there's a bit of a domestic going on about it. I'll see him at the weekend, let you know the current state of the warring parties

Hi Art,

I'm tied between buying an 11 which would need to be a good un or buy a nice PD to keep.

One of the hassles is the number of 11's / airheads that come up for sale over this side. Ask yer mate anyway. It's the wrong time of year to be selling , take a bad price etcetc.

Bout ye Trev,

Aye big Rog has bought an 08 Busa alongwith all the daft bits like a stretched swingarm etc so I'm running out of playmates on sports bikes. I was in Billys the day after the Xmas run and he mentioned you'd all been there.

I know a Bike that just might suit the Bill, Its a PD classic, and if its like the
owners others , its well kept.
He is only toying with selling it , and wey his money he doesnt need to
I seen this motor once , on a run out , its the Black classic ,
It is worth that wee Bit extra .

PM , ye his number , sure its good tey talk !
