    Look what I saw today

    Met a woman who said she had two of these and was prepping them to ride to South Africa.

    Asked if I wanted to come (oh for not having family and commitments).

    She was admiring my zebra while I admired her bike.

    I like it.
    That is the only bike out there which is in contention with the Africa Twin.
    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

    have to say I agree. It looked a peach.

    thought it may have been Mardi-Louise or Janine's bike but they had the single headlight set up as far as i know...

    looks like we are having a couple in for usd conversions soon, be interesting to put one up against the S10.

    I was too crest-fallen about the zebra failing its MOT so I forgot to ask her name.

    I did recommend she visit the site though.

    She was tall with long, light-coloured hair.

    So you were talking to a tall blonde and it was the MOT that made you forget to ask her name?
