We stayed in a farm near Ashford a few years back .. the guy had 30 odd or so scrapped minis in the yard. My son managed to negotiate with the owner to buy them all at £10 a pop.

It so funny.. you had to be there though

My monies on the MINI, I reckon thats got a pretty serious engine going on there, judging by the tyres

My next door neighbour had one of the original minis for years, but sadly he died a few years back. My parents also had one for a while. Someone round here has one of the new minis with a custom paint job,

I could have sworn I saw Matt's mini driving around Newbury just before christmas (same colour scheme, but I didn't get enough of a look at it to work out whether it was a Works)

Changed before I'm nabbed by the mini police!

He would be swapping the Bandit 600 for the sv650, not the thou

Anyway, just asked him - he said the Bandit is good for a few more years (its "only" on 30k

) but he does tend to maintain the bikes rather well, so no need for a replacement just yet.

30k is nothing for a well maintained bike.

This might get Gilly to do his test sooner

Wouldn't mind a V Twin, but I think I prefer V4s... though at the moment mines more than good enough

Spoke to my brother, he's going bike shopping in a couple of months and he's after either a CBR1000RR (like I have) or a GSXR 1000.
