JUST LEAVE THE BEEMERS ALONE! or I'll hunt the guy down!. This sort of rubbish really p*sses me off!!

Post by: Bob_Roller on July 14, 2009, 02:41:06 PM: There was an R1200C around my area a few years ago, that had an extended front fork, 'ape hanger' handlebars, an open exhaust, and painted pastel pearlescent yellow .

Didn't look 'right', didn't sound 'right', nothing about it was 'right' !!!

Guess that's probably why I haven't seen for a few years .
