Stunner - good luck. Browsing AdvRider - if it was used as a track bike; walk away. 😁

Oh yes, I am in no rush to buy and there a few in the ads to choose from. Can check the MOT history of bikes online and the bike itself. Generally if there is a consistent MOT record then chances it’s not been a track bike but one never knows so when it comes to exotics like this best to give it a very good look over.

Funny thing. When I was into motocross bikes the ads all say "never been raced". A good mate pointed out that you WANT a race bike. Yes the throttle has been held open but they are generally much better maintained than a farm bike.

Last 3 weeks weather been superlative. Summer in UK and Europe is superb. Went out on the 390 this morning and stopped at Rykas. Well known cafe that caters for bikers, cyclists, trail runners and walkers. 

and it’s not in Australia either

Thursday night I went to Bike shed in London. Lekker spot. Those that recall rim n rubber in jozi, bike shed is the kind of vibe I thin rim nd rubber was trying to create. But bikers in jozi were any the rim and rubber prices I think. Bike shed ain’t too expensive, kind of in line with pub prices so it works well, also has a barber shop, a tattoo parlour and a small clothing store on the premises. Very Lekker vibe. 
 

at bike shed you summer park your boney inside the premises, riding past the punters to the bike parking

Oh yes,I am off to London around 5 June for a few nights, think I will make the effort to go there. Been once before but many years ago, it had recently opened.

Righty Oh, I have gone a little “off piste” so they say, with regard to the bikes that I have constantly on my radar. Bought this today……..

She is a 2003 Randy Mamola R1100s Boxer Cup Rep, with a Certificate from Bee Em SA as an authentic rep and not just the painted 1100s.Really looking forward to acquainting myself with this machine in 39 days when I get home!
