Title: The "this week, I really want a........" thread.
Post by: MOzZereLLa on May 27, 2014, 10:20:01 PM
Open to all. Doesn't have to be a bike (but then it's in the wrong section if it isn't).

Post your (serious) desires here and allow others to talk you into (or out of) it..... My recents include the Maserati "dream".

I'll start - seriously considering one of these as a third bike. I might track it too. Makes you work hard for pace but has sublime handling and looks awesome. Hated it when I test rode one in 06 but fancy a re-run to include full system, PC and HM Shifter.

Anyone on here got one of the latest versions?

£3500 would be a nice start. eBay, Bike Trader, Gumtree, MCN don't have anything so other suggestions welcome.

You only really get a sense of scale when you stand next to these planes. The pilot looks tiny in this one. I was at Fairford in 2000 and they had the stealth bomber and fighter there. They were like Tom and Jerry in size to each other. The Bomber is huge.

Of course I wasn't standing next to it as there was a big roll of razor wire around it and about a dozen troops with sub machine guns  :cheesy:

A few years back when we were looking for a new family wagon BMW couldn't give them away.

Suits me.  I'll be having the twin turbo version with a bit of luck.

In the case of the X6, yes.

Neither are bad though. The X6 just has not sold. I was offered the M version of it by a dealer desperate to sell them for £30k off list. I still couldn't afford it though!!!!

Don't suppose you saw the telly this morning. There was a news article covering a bloke who's experimenting with creating a battery using carbon fiber.

The idea is that in the future, the battery can form part of the chassis, bodywork etc.

Miles off yet, but it might be one for your wank bank.

Got my eye on a bit of a modern classic - can't believe how cheap they are.

Must try and find one to ride but they are hens teeth it would seem.

Yep, if I had a 888 and a Norton in my garage, I'd be a very happy chap indeed.

I have to say that the 888 was the most horrendous bike I have ever ridden...the clutch was a switch...on or off...no in between...I'm sure a few filling came loose too.
