'07 adventure. Graphite. Gonna look at it tomorrow or tuesday.

38L tank :oonyack

Know the lad selling. :thumb
 
I thought the Adv had 38L as standard? I'm buying it over the standard gs because I'm a very tall lad and want the extra seat height.

Update. Just ridden it. I like it. Might have to replace the back pads once in a while as it's got a lot more torque than my current and will take a lot of forward planning and rear brake for bimbllng along in traffic.

The black dash is starting to bubble from sunlight through the screen. Must hunt down all of your advise on the much discussed subject.

I'll need luggage and it dosn't have to be georgeous, so if anyone has any luggage they need collected, I'd be happy to oblige. Damn, I'm talking like I've bought it again:augie

All in all, I've never been more comfortable on a bike. I like the bars and the seat. Not to mention the presence. I went over a few big potholes intentionally. No problem to the bike. I'd feel comfortable in the west of ireland. Find a beach, pitch a tent. Open ale... Anyway, being 6'4", I think this is one for me. Just have to look at the bank draft for a bit to make sure. It's a fair few quid. I hope I don't end up about it as intensely as last night!!


Also, noticed a bit of backfiring on engine braking. Is it cool to use engine braking formost? Is it normal for engine to backfire like this? Did on my r anyway.

Your a bunch of tossers!

I'll get my coat and gloves on the way out...

FK.
 
Hiya Tosser!!!

If you want to get rid of the back-fire, use super unleaded! - but why bother!!

Welcome
 
Petrol stations are hard to find in Dublin. They've mostly been sold off to build appartments. All hail the Celtic Tiger.

How long would it take to do a Hollyhead round trip of the UK? Just wondering:augie:D:D I'll need to train for a big one later in the summer and I need to book tickets before they get toooo expensive.

Need a few linkys on notible threads or linkys for luggage. Can't find what I need with the search function. thanks.
