I was concerned that the WB off roaders might all be related to Dougie Lambkin, having read this I may still be outclassed in off roading skills but maybe not so humilating as I first thought. ;D
There's also the Kawasaki KL250 Super Sherpa, pretty rare, but there was one on here last year...Quote:

This one was on here for over a month and only one member showed an interest, yet plenty of people say "Oh I'd love to have a go at off-roading..." ::) Don't just think about it folks, get a bike and have a go!
By the way, Star's Serow sold tonight so keep looking! [smiley=thumbsup.gif]
Thanx for that Scotty,
Am really torn at the mo, I've got the car modded exactly as I wanted it (at much expense and over a number of years) and when i can run it, it's brilliant. But this is only seriously a few times a year at Santa Pod & Goodwood. Other than that it's a couple of weekend blats with the Supra Club.
Trouble is that i took it out the other night and in this cold night air it's just brutal :o Brilliant !
I know I'd get more use out of a new Sports bike & an off-roader, but you know what it's like parting with something that's almost part of you, and I know I'd never get another the same.
I need to take a long hard (quick) think and come to a decision and either be happy with the SV for a while and keep the car or get it for sale.#
Will have a natter with a mate who imports Supra's and see what the market is like at the mo (although I fear I know).
In the meantime, must stop looking at that pretty Ducati :D
Couldn't sleep last night so popped up to Wigan :D to have a look at this in the flesh ;)

I'm liking ;D
Ducati 900S, 2002 but unregistered, V Twin [smiley=thumbup.gif] Alice paint job (not stickers) done to order.
Not a sensible buy in many ways, but it's so nice to look at (IMO) !
Can't afford it, but may not let that stop me buying it (although they also had a nice Honda SP1 there) oh, and a nice new (again unregistered) Benelli - bit common now though ;)
May see if I can sell my kidneys on Monday ;D
G
PS, It's amazing how quickly you can get up to the M4 at Bath before 5am 8-)
OOOOOOOOOooooooooooooohhhhhhh Gerry! ;)
Yes, sorry about last night Roxy, I thought I was zipped up ;DQuote:

"Getting your leg over" and "A man with a box." The mind boggles Gerry. ;D ;D ;D
Thing is owning a Ducati is and will be costly, for starters, the clocks are the same design as the 916/996/998 and after a few thousand miles the glass over them will start to crack with the vibration, cam belts have to be changed every 2years regardless of millage, being a 2002 model you will most likely get the regulater/rectifier charging problem (think it is fine on the 2004 models up)
BUT, great bike to ride, will put a smile on your face every time you ride it. I love my 916, but owning a Ducati is not a cheap hobby lol ;D
