Looking at you there Neil, is there any danger you might be turning into some kind of hipster?

I’d like to see you sat on an R80 g/s.
The so called MONSTER TRAIL BIKE of the 80s.
You’d make it look like a moped

I’ve got just the bike for you.
At the mo,it has a full on rally spec motor,but everyone that’s ridden it has suggested that it’s too much.
Myself and Charlie have discussed building a softer motor for it

We have containers as well
Mostly full of gold dust(shit, but usefull shit)
As in most of this industry sales for some bikes are crap,but the mighty g/s and GS are always going to be good.
The demographic of airhead owners isn’t as likely to be financially hit as younger motorcyclists.
Charlie has set up a website and is more prolific on other social media than me,
There is a huge younger following of airhead owners out there that are prepared to spend money on their old man’s bike etc.
Or an engine /gbox overhaul..
So whilst they might not be buying £10k plus bikes,they will spend refurbing an old snotter
Whatever the1150 tank is doing to the K series tank, I hope it’s consensual.
Old shitters.So, what bikes do you specialise in?
Talking of which, have you still got that 1100GS 75th Anniversary jobby you had off me ?
Way more interesting than a pension plan...I know the feeling… this is just one of my four storage garages, it’s the only one with a bit of room
Looking at their stashes I thought of a few words and humbling wasn't one of them...
Link to website please?We have containers as well
