Hello Captain, greetings, however don't include me in the wise old fowl bracket please, i'm just a Friday night drunk, your round mate so get the beers in.
Stupid name mate, but fer gawds sake don't shorten it to CK coz thats really bad. (oops prepare for kick in the goolies from Charlotte:P)
Actually wish i'd thought Captain Kremen rather than Bigdaftgeordie, i'm just jealous.
Welcome Captain, you've obviously got the best possible taste looking for a 916 shape bike (red surely?) Its been a long night, so if you're at the virtual bar, I'll have a large Alka Selza and Karla's telephone number if you've got it...Cheeeeeeers!
a) If your buying with your head see part c. b) If your buying on credit see part d c) Buy one with your heart not your head. d) buy the latest model (996/998) you can afford!
If all else fails...and you are blind...buy a 749/999.
Not many probs with dealers, its just those who do have a prob are quick to voice opinion here, but as the board only accounts for a small amount of members its not necessarily a good representation.
Now, get your hand out of your pocket - mines a bottle of champers to go on ice for later
