Yep, just bought myself an 87 with 77k on the clock. Cam chain noise, which was expected, apart from that, it's a wonderful bike to ride. Picking it up some time next week. Mechanically it seems quite nice, needs a brake rebuild as they just don't feel very responsive.

Cosmetically it's very average, cracks in the fairings etc, but all in all it doesn't look too bad.

Thanks for all the people posting on this forum, really helped make my mind up. Looking forward to some nice long runs.

Cheers

Matt

BTW, Classic is the official Welcome Cobber and Shadow, you are the wielder of Maxwell's Hammer. I am getting a little confused here! If you guys keep messing with us, I just might send you both a picture of me in my mankini walking like I have a little chaffing problem develping!!! That should make you ill for a week at least.
Mattski, we welcome you to this great forum and hope you have a high tolerance for joking around. If you have no sense of humor, you will soon! And if you still don't smile, I will personally send you a picture of Sir Trout dressed to the hilt. Ok he.ll, just look at his Avatar and you will see what he looks like when going to his board meetings at work!

WTF are you on?????????????????

Welcome to the madhouse Mattski I'm sure your new ride will live up to all your expectations and this site will probably exceed them

See you in the saloon for a drink sometime

Nevadasir!! I see you have sufficiently welcomed mr. mattski with a mankini hug!!
This is good!
And also given karlo a mankini hug??!!
Even better!
And an offer to nutter?

That would make a mankini threesome!!
That's the very best!
