While those seem interesting, I was wondering where the one in the video can be found? I've been searching without much success.

It has me curious now.

Mr Sheen!

The joys of working in the city centre !! Im lucky enough to have the bike parked just outside my window in a private car park. Bike is as safe as houses.

However a bloody junkie has been walking around ( Well a lot of falling and stumbling ) in the car park for the past hour. I have been keeping a close eye on him to see what he was getting up to. Eventually the bike catches his eye and he wanders over for a gander :eek::eek: I was straight out the door and told him to be on his way fairy quick. Didnt get much of a response as he is well out of it. After a bit more falling around eventually he falls into an unused pedestrian gate into the carpark that the bike is parked behind, he hits the deck and the gate bursts into the back of the bike and moves the bike an inch or two on the side stand.:mad::mad::mad:

I didnt bother with any more words with him I just started the bike and moved it. Some how there is no damage to the bike at all, and its big metal gate. Must have just caught the bike in the right way.

F*ck sake, it could have been a lot worse, 1000's of damage could have been done just because some bell end was off his face and were the hell do you go to get compensated for that.

I got a Felt on the scheme a few years ago. I think i got it for 700 down from over 1000. My arse has graced its saddle for a total of 1 hour in about 3 years:o

Zascar, you may as well hang it on the wall and put it down to experience

I reckon the engine on that yoke is shagged out.

This thread is for vids and banter & so on. Not everyone gets a chance to look through reddit threads so thats why I post vids from there here.

The waterproof door on my HD Drift has broke twice now. First time it literally crumbled into bits when tightening it. Place I bought it sent a replacement which broke a few weeks ago.

This time they just post me 3 replacement doors. Will see how long these ones last.

I really want a 1098 but cant justify spending any more money. I'd do a swap though!

There is a very nice 1198s on donedeal at the moment

Zascar

The 1198 is expensive. There are two 1098's around at the moment

Beautiful yokes. They are not cheap to run though with belts etc needing doing.

Not sure how much mine is worth but I'd say there would be a large gap! Can't really justify it

Better weather coming in now Ya might get a bit more interest.

If you were to import from the uk. How much would you expect the dealer to knock off the price of the bike considering you wont need a warranty? or is that a how long is a piece of string question

goodlad

I would imagine that depends on how much the bike is in the first place.
Although sterling exchange rate at the moment is terrible. Its not worth buying in the uk
