Nice write up The Wes ,I have always enjoyed the treads you have started. I see you are now in a different league as a motorcycling journalist , well done I like your no bullshit honest approach,! Keep it up.

I have owned a couple of Moto Guzzies, a Ducati monster,and for a brief period a Laverda. I like Italian bikes. The build quality of the Vespa is superb. I have always said one day I will buy a Vespa , that day has come, time will tell if we will bond or not , but I am going to give it a...

Are there any tough wild dog guys or girls that beside owning a dual sport bike also own a Vespa? Being a loyal BMW fan I bought the BMW 650 scooter , it had all the bells and whistles,was insanely fast for a scooter but it had no soul. We parted ways after a few months. It may be mid life...

Where is this collection? Is it open to the public? I would really love to see these bikes in person.

I am fortunate enough to have both bikes a 1982 R80GS and and the new 2015 1200 GS ADV .It is really fun to go from the old to the new and vice versa. I confess that the new bike is a hell of a lot more comfortable but the old just has more soul. I did a little ride on the 80 last Sunday about...

Back to the CCM bike, I think there are many of us who are looking for a bike like this, I for one am. I have been fortunate enough to have owned many motorcycles in my time I think I am on number 86 and I still have not found the perfect adventure bike. Funny enough the closest I have come was...

Looks really good 2Bfree, Now the million dollar question are you going to start manufacturing them? I know you mentioned earlier about producing kits. I have a new liquid cooled adventure that is just too nicer ride to slow it down with a sidecar , but I would consider fitting one to my...

Thanks Poffmuis , This one is close to me I will try to go have a look at it this weekend , It looks good .

I had one in the mid 90's ,nogal purple in colour. I was living in Cape Town at the time what a bike it was nippy ,reasonably light with a reasonable size tank and excellent fuel consumption I loved it. I have no idea why they were not that popular in my opinion the bike was ahead of its time.

I really like it , I bought a BMW 650 GT scooter and enjoyed it as it was a comfortable ride and you could do a reasonable speed on the highway , I would go up to 160km/h when overtaking if I had to. As I do not commute on a bike I soon got bored with it and sold it. The main reason is because I...

Chairman, I agree with you for that type of money the paper work has to be in order. I am ready for another project as the Willys Jeep I bought in April is 90% finished just a couple of things left to do which I will complete in January. I am looking for a road bike this time round preferably...

I thought that this years championship was pretty good. I really like GP 3 on the 125 bikes those youngsters are fearless. GP 2 also went right to the wire ,so overall not bad. Superbikes is another story , although there was one clear winner for most the season this is tough racing and I...

I would like the same info as Jupiter , I have a new 2015 GS 1200 Adventure that I want to keep as is , but based on your price for a complete rig I may sell one or two of my other bikes to get the right bike for your sidecar. I have owned a Ural and the sidecar is fantastic but highway speed...

I was their at the beginning of June and although there were potholes in general the road was not bad. I need to add that I was on my way to the BMW GS airhead get together and was traveling at a sedate 130/ 140 km/h on my 1982 R80GS. If your intention is to ride like a bat out of hell you...

Obviously a pretty low cost movie , they could not have had much budget. Bought quite a few BMW boxers . :peepwall:

My first new Harley was a wide glide and it was a great bike. I really like your rims and the paint job. I know the forum gives us stick if you dare to own a Harley but I think they have a place, for me just to take a cruise to the airfield early on a Saturday morning just helps to clutch out...

Boxing gloves are on and I am in my corner already warmed up , where is the bloody group photo ? It has now been a month. :dousing:

Chairman, it is Monday you still have the whole week to get through ,do not let your blood pressure shoot up over trivia. Deep  breaths - calm.  :dousing:

Are we ever going to see the group photos ? :peepwall:

To Chairman Meow and all his merry men , Thank you for a great weekend I really enjoyed it. Being able to put faces to forum names and seeing 30 odd GS airheads together was really special. I look forward to seeing the group pictures. Organisation top notch, thanks to all involved.
