    Rode a Transalp yesterday..

    What a mistake... Looks like I will have to get one now. Suits me much more than the 650 single I have now...

    There's a few up on fleabay at the moment.
    Brrrmm - '04 XL650V Transalp in Silver

    It's not a case of whether we can fix it or not - it's more a case of how fixed would you like it?

    It is always a mistake to test ride a bike unless you are thinking of changing one very soon.
    YOU ONLY NEED TWO TOOLS IN LIFE - WD-40 AND DUCT TAPE. IF IT DOESN'T MOVE AND SHOULD, USE THE WD-40. IF IT SHOULDN'T MOVE AND DOES, USE THE DUCT TAPE

    I took mine round the coast of the UK 3,425 miles 15 days, I now love it more then I did when I started, it's just a good easy bike to ride.
    It never missed a beat.

    Congrats Richie. The problem is it's a hard job to get one as good as the one you tried.
