Dont mind it raining now....let the clouds get it out of their system,,,,,,we'll have to see how many Car Alarms we can set off on the Ferry.....My Db2 finds that Mini alarms work best if I park next to them just on tickover........... Can we play swapsie heading down to the Ferry otherwise I'll be deaf if I have to follow you all the way |

Just out of curiosity, what are DB5Rs going for on the used market? There don't seem to be any for sale over here in the colonies. _________________ Spike C.

Works out around the same price due to the dollar being a bit week v the GBP.... ...But thats why its difficult to compare across continents with currency fluctuations...... |

I consider mine to be worth every penny that I paid for it, so I'm not complaining! The chance of finding a comparable moto of any make is virtually nill.
