Probably the most dangerous thing about them was the pointed end was sticking out to the right....I didn't want to scratch my fragile skin, I am still in possession of a 900 so I need to be careful, apparently

MOTO GUZZI T3 with Le Mans engine, frisky for an old girl
YAMAHA Tracer 700
RE Himalayan
Down to 3 toys at the moment, need to go shopping I think
I DON'T DO EXERCISE - if God had wanted me to bend over, he would have put cake on the floor

), on the run up to his place.

Did that a few months ago - felt a bit stupid having struggled with esp. the flasher switch for years and all it needed was a splash of fat to slide like Bambi on the ice :-)
900 going for ... 1000cc?
