They have a rep for expensive parts (I wonder how people got that impression :roll: ). It seems to me nothing much is selling though; I'm not just looking at 406s, I also have an eye out for other cars that I might like (C5 estate, Scoobies, 156/9 etc.) and I'm still seeing the same cars I saw months back.

I don't know much about bikes but isn't 10 years old a bit, well, old? (I'm thinking of rider enjoyment/safety) things like dampers, springs, bushes, sprokets?, gear box?.

So if Puggy's are not favoured over there then what should you be driving?

Nah, a tractor (ooh, driving about all day on cheap fuel, l/h indicator going, spraying mud everywhere, belching out unburnt hydrocarbons - could be me!!)

Going to see the bike Thursday...

Just ringing up to change my will...

I've never even done the arse in the air thing - cb125, dt175, cx500, cx500ec, kle500, tdm850, that's all I've ever ridden. My back's not so good these days either, I also have trouble with the high c of g of the tdm with my dodgy leg :?

*looks at bike ad again* Ooh, don't that seat look comfy? :shock:
