Hi Guys, not been on here for a while, see some of the old faces still contribute which is great. Enjoyed the photos from Manchester as well, well done to all who exhibited their bikes.
What is happening on the new bike front, not heard much over the past two years?

Hi Pomps, no not yet, waiting to see what they are doing in Sunny Italy before splashing out. I still say they are one of the best bikes to have, and would be pleased to represent them again.
Let me have a contact email via pm and i'll send you a picture of the latest "import"

Hi EC, I had an older one, sold it a little while ago a great YB11. However, like many, not all of us, have time to keep the older bikes on the road. Weather time and availability of good roads means that all I have time to do is uncover, check, fire up and go. If I have to spend my time maintaining the thing(s) it takes away the riding pleasure for me anyway BUT thats a purley personal opinion.
I know many of you enjoy the maintenance thing but its not for me these days as I said, it's a personal thing and I would not want to suggest maintaining you own bike is a bad thing. Boy I have done enough maintenance in the past from push bikes and motorbikes making them, go karts, crashing repairing and racing them, cars the same, HGVs' PSV's been out in all weathers repairing etc etc etc so at 59 I want something more usable.
BMW, no idea at all. I guess as they have/had a German (is he still there?) at the helm there is a good chance.
Would i buy a Bimota enduro? What do you think LOL!!! I would rather ride a T Max or Bergman.
Hope this answers your question as much as I can EC?
