I've always wanted the Buell , so it'll be an addition to whatever I get in the new year. I have to admit the new R3 is a strong contender. But the only thing putting me off is the 17 liter fuel tank !!! on a f*cking 2.5 liter bike :rolleyes:

Oh and when I sell all my shares and horses I can buy whatever bike i want with cash !! :pac:

Will the GT version have a bigger tank?

Looks the same as the "R" version. It'd be the clincher for me if its true.

That's a fair switch.
Your ass won't know what hit it!!! :pac:

Riding position and seat comfort.

The GSA is an amazing bike but it's far too disconnected from the road. I'm looking for less electronics these days.

All sorted thank fuk!

Lad in the NCT in Waterford was sound.
Said to me I didn't need a booking and what idiot told me that.
When I told the whole story he said that is a disgrace and he was putting in a complaint straight when I left.

Passed the speed cam twice so far with no plate.
Hope there's a few more on the way home,
I'm going to pass them flat out just for the laugh :pac:
Should have my Irish plate tomorrow!

Applegreen in Lemybrien by any chance?

Not surprised to hear contrasting stories about the Blarney lads, they were caught up in the €50 in the ashtray job a few years ago. How does the registration on imports work? Are you allocated a reg by the centre the VRT was done or the county you reside? I’ve never imported in my life.

Whatever you show them as your proof of address is what they go by.
Leamybrien yes.
Home now.

Stop???
Why would I do that?
I'd give them something to do the lazy feckers!!
They love coming for fast spins with me anyway.
They always cheat though...putting on their sirens so traffic makes way for them.
They still can't keep up though! :pac:

Saw this parked outside work. 1973 but it looked brand new :cool:

Went for a wee peek at this, and it's minty fresh, fair play to whoever has restored and maintained this, spotless!

Not sure I could leave that parked without an armed guard or rabid dog guarding it if mine. Hope one day to do a resto of that caliber.

Must have tempted faith with that post.
3 checkpoints at the weekend.
First one I was on my way to Carrigtwohill to pick up my new reg plate.
At the checkpoint there was two cars ahead of me and a road to the right.
Couldn't be bothered going through the rigmarole so I just took the road to the right.

Then on the way back with the reg plate in my backpack there was a checkpoint at Midleton roundabout.
No escaping this one.
As I pulled up to the guard he waved me on! Result again. :pac:

And today at Midleton roundabout again and first time with reg plate fitted to bike.
He asked have I tax,so told him I could only do it online Friday evening and he said, that's fine, drive on.
I thought he was going to give me bollocking for coming around the bend fairly lively and the noise as well.

Spotted a Nikon on the M50 today, mad looking on the go.
