There was a Dommie for sale at the Stafford show. £695 I think.

I used to like those green onyx ones where you got the chunkiest lighter and ashtray 2 piece pack. They used to go well with the silver plated cruet set and the stainless steel carving set. Old folk will know what I am talking about.

One taking the picture Mike? Give it a chance Sir Stanley. It is always good to welcome new members, especially if they have something different to ride.

sitting in the sun at stafford with og and drewps having a cuppa. anyone else here?

I had one similar to catalogue number 21. Cost my mum £40. That was megga money then. '76, had my TS90 at the time and the summer that year.................................................................Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

Hi and welcome Kayos. Mike - I understand the frustration. But I thought this intro was good. Not much background but extra points for the pictures and the mention of touring and ferries. ****************************************************************************************************************** My mum used to tie a bone around my neck so the dog would play with me. Not saying my mum didn't want to get close to me but she used to feed me by catapult.

Sorry to hear that Blackhat. I am almost ready to go and was looking forward to meeting up with you.

hi Pete. welcome.

My SV just did 230MPH. Mind you there was a sighting of Omar in my neighbourhood before I got on it.

Say hello, wave goodbye. We are friendlier here. Well some of the members are.

Looks like the '05 to '10 use the same front sprocket. Take the details from here and search the brand and number in the UK LINKY

Hope you got my number via PM Blackhat. I will text you when I get there OG to see if you are around.

Re: the SV. Cheap to run, reliable, cheap to service. One common fault is the speedo sender or rotor goes. The sender is silly money and rare second hand. Mine went and I got one from German evilbay. Make sure it has a fenda extenda or it will run like a single when it rains. Make sure you get the original sparkplug tool in the toolkit. It is hinged and you can change the front plug without removing the rad. If you haven't got one I would guess that it would be a right pain. Here is mine

I have an sv. the prettier early curvy. great bike brought mine for 1100 quid. '02 plate 2 owners 11000 miles. 60 mpg. very cheap bike but lots around.

Probably do Saturday. Probably in the car - in case there are any purchases also fed up with getting wet and battered by the winds. if I wanted that I would move to Scotland er Wales. Mobile number about to come your way by PM.

Mon dieu I have been discovered. I forgot the last one: only French and German people can apply for a licence. make this another European law.

a total ban would do it but falling that: compulsory dayglo clothing compulsory lights on abs on all bikes ban on nighttime riding those leg shield thinggies bhp capped to 15 bhp intelligence test to see if Darwin's theory was correct minimum age to be 60 200 separate tests to get a full licence, each one more expensive than the last only veggies can hold a licence that would do for a start. and a hello to all the guinea pigs in the newbs section would have helped.

I prefer the first version.

I had a KLE a while ago, Detuned GPZ twin engine. Took me around Europe loads of times without one issue. Very underrated.

One of these with a scaffold pole attached to the pillion would do it

As OG.

I suppose you don't want to borrow my TS250 exhaust to develop one from it? I could even deliver it to you!

The bikes listed are very different. The Tenere and F650 are bulky. Out of the list I would go for a Dommie, That said, what about a Aprilla Pegaso, Honda Vigor or a Honda SLR 650?I had a SLR last year, Good fun bike. Not a lot of "goodies" available but great to ride. I only sold it as my commute to work really needed something with a better top speed but I would buy another one. super moto style.

Plenty of room for church lead and copper in the back of that.
