Demise of the German

How about a nice little Italian number 

[mike the bike]

Nice and Italian in the same sentence?

[adespin]

You are right about Italian, at least the 70's era bikes , i bought a new Benelli six (sei) in 1976, i kept it for about three months, the build quality was abysmal, it leaked oil from stem to stern so i part ex'd it for a BMW R90S, what a difference. Sorry about hi-jacking your post.

How much did the bmw fetch out of interest? I have 2 sat here that are rough as a badgers backside and probably need the eBay treatment. Both mechanically sound throughout but had a few winters too much commuting and then been stood in a barn too long. They may be good bikes but the cb500 is both lighter and cheaper to run. Bmws #@%$ card though is parts are still available.

You found the auto-censor

Didn’t know that it loops and censors itself though!

Yeah, I think I might buy a BMW when I give up motorcycling, 🤡

Auto censor! Cool! I cannot remember exactly what I said now..... Might have to trigger it again.

[SteveD CB500K0]

There are only a couple of words that I set for auto censor. You can probably imagine what they are.

I moderate the US site as well and they have so much trouble with politics and guns …

There’s a certain US President ( can’t think why I have him a capital P).

Unfortunately, that word gets used in its real sense every now and then.
