G'day, all. Joined-up this morning. Site looks great. Bought my first Tiger last week, turns up in 3 days. Have wanted a Steamer for some time (having had a '92 Trophy Triple for the last 7 years and becoming a great fan of the 885), but could not afford one. Bought a R65 and put trail tyres and MX bars on instead, so I could take on the dirt roads. Then, up pops a cheap, not running '91(sic) Steamer on eBay. Got it for $1450 AUD. Can't wait to see what rolls out of the truck on Friday. If anyone's interested, I will post pix and story. If I am never heard from again, you will know it was a disaster. Regards, Beernard.
Ripper, woke up again.
