This is beautiful with enough HP!

[suecanada]

A lot heavier than the MG V7 but look at this: Got around 70 hp but seat higher and needs cutting down which would be a shame.

There are some nice bikes on ibmwr.org marketplace too. An R100CS replica named Red Baron!!! 1st page of the R bikes.

Just dreamin' an afternoon away most pleasantly!

I wonder what it will finally go for. It is very tempting [smiley=wall.gif] but really can't justify a second bike

[Bob_Roller]

You can't justify a second bike, you just want one !!!

[Bengt_Phorqs]

You can't justify a second bike, you just want one !!!

Let's be perfectly honest, it's really difficult to justify the first bike.  So if we can't justfity the first bike but got it because we wanted it, then it's just a baby step to get the second one "just because" we want it.  Go ahead, go for it!  Keep it for a few years and when you sell it you'll get most of your money out of it.  You can do it, give in to temptation!  Mwahahahahaha!!!

That laugh is evil. The "mw" in front proves it!

[Dave 2]

Very evil, but so so seductive, I could be in our 4th of July parade on that beauty, so it would be a patriotic purchase. It would stimulate the economy (Not Mine ) but I would be doing my part to spend our way to wealth and happiness It is true that there was a wee bit of rationalization for my LS but the leap for the second bike would be a tad delusional [smiley=dizzy2.gif] Dave 2

1st bike - not a problem.
2nd bike - definitely a bit harder.
3rd bike - now it gets really tough - though Justin has managed to pull it off nicely..

[Bob_Roller]

Without an S.O. to get permission from, the third and fourth bikes were not even a problem for me !!!!

[Dave 2]

 Although I love her dearly, my S.O. , when it comes to my toys, can speak the undeniable voice of reason and reality. However, for the most part she is gracious in her acceptance of my indulgences. She does insist on a parking space IN the garage during the winter(Humph!)...you see there is also the matter of my 55 year old wooden skiff that can't be out in the elements, nor can my LS, or all the yard/garden machines So toy storage space is also factor to consider.

sometime you just need to sneak them in in bits. Holey moley, howd' that frame get in by the closet door?

[Lucky_Lou]

How to get it passed the wife.er Husband er partner, carer whatever!!
Reason 1  Economic recovery will be helped if we all go out and by stuff we dont really need.........we should do our bit.
Reason 2 But darling my other bike mighnt break down!!
Getting despearate.
Reason 3 I think i may have sold "the bike"(lie) so i need to get a replacement....then buy some flowers as well!!
Lou

[Semper Gumby]

Just try Justifying BSA and a Motesa Cota 247.  Sweetheart?  Honey? :-?

(Just hide 'em in the shed)

[drewboid]

One really lucky guy here - it is my S.O. that wants another bike!!!
She did a test ride on a Moto Guzzi Jackal - liked the added HP but not the bike. she preferred her R65!  I'm going to put the seat on the R1100R in the lowest position and see how she likes that.  Otherwise the new 650GS has her eye. Although I wonder how long she will be happy with an 800.  That would make one bike for each of 5 decades - each BMW with a different engine!
