I'm sure many of you are BMW fans, and may hate me forever... but I LOVE THIS R80!!!

It was outside a shop called Chasbikes in London this lunchtime - sounded lovely and really my kind of thing!

You can even see the front brake master cylinder by the front of the petrol tank :)

------- maybe a certain Mr A.H,from Austria (via Germany) was a secret midnight biker ???----- OK, what's the idea of a cable-operated, hydraulic disc brake ??--- surely a standard handlebar master cylinder is easier and less prone to faults ??---- and that throttle cable layout needs a serious re-think, BUT}----- it's individual, it's two wheels and an engine----------- it's MOTORBIKING Jim, but not as we know it !!!!--------- so have a LOOK at this, BABY !!!! }------ www.youtube.com/watch?v=9oY7ZwfN5ec ------------------- never mind Mariah Carey, this IS the real thing !!!!!!

HOWEVER!!! And this may also upset a few of you, but with regard to Grunda's comments about hooters... is it just me that buys Back Street Heroes and wishes the girls WERN'T getting the way of the bikes? I mean, there's plenty of all that elsewhere, but when I wanna see bikes, I don't wanna see semi-naked girls! Am I odd
?

Hi Peter I must agree the hooterless birds get in the way of the bikes but if they have to have birds draped sliver could we have the hooters like in the good old days no I,m joking get rid of the birds more bikes, I must say I haven't read backstreet heroes for yolks although most enfieldonions don't appreciate many different styles of bikes not everybody has my diverse spectrum of all bikes ,I hear diesel bikes are gaining popularity I,m getting people emailing me via the Reoc website maybe they should make me diesel officer!!is that the time beds calling atb Paul.

Peter 53 - That's just about the most sorry-looking pile of poo I've seen for quite a while, but I can well imagine the ecstatic joy that you (or indeed the owner) might experience riding it after dark on a rainy night......Float my boat? Scuppered and sank it, more like !
