Its raining, its chilly, leaves are falling from the trees and I can feel the PMS season approaching.
Any ideas on how to spend winter months?
Wicked, weird, strange and imaginative suggestions welcomed....provided they slip by the right honourable moderator, that is!
Oh yes, if you have sane suggestions, they're welcome , too

dream about the possibility of changing my tiger for a new 675 and think of devious ways to convince her who must be obeyed that to change is a good idea!

Aaaaahhhh - the 675 is a real beauty!! Seems like Hinckley are catching up on styling. This one is a LOT better than the Sprint. .
Sometimes I wish I was 6" shorter....
If the alleged new Tiger is designed along those line I'll be extremely tempted

Sharper and slimmer would be good. But it would still need to be comfy two up and keep it's good tank range.

The end can on the 675 looks good,,,,,,, kinda looks familiar.

Hey Timiam - Considering the mini bus you ride is bigger than my car, I'd suggest you throw a couple of makeshift windows and roof on her, maybe added a couple of snow tires and you'll be good til spring!

Done that - was charged 12000 $ for changing vehicle's specs, so went back to original.

PS: What car you got? BMW Isetta??? Does this indicate an environmentalist American??
Naaahhh - it couldn't be.... :razz:

Close ....... actually a Z3. I still think your "bike" weighs more?

"Environmentalist American" ....... Whatta you think; I took down 26 trees down last year behind the house so my kids could have a mini moto track!!!! This is the "Live Free or Die" state Timian.

Take care ........ BTW, how fast can you "bike" go in reverse?

There was an incident in the Italian Alps this summer when a band of Germans came downhill towards me, and there was just one escape: Backwards.
I remember briefly seeing -64kmh before all went black....
