Lurch Went Shopping Today

[Lurch]

I don't want a van as security though...

 

[dandoolittle]

The van has sentimental value

 

[Lurch]

I'll have sentiments if you cartwheel my bike down the kitty litter!

 

[Pigs]

I can't say that! It'd narrow it down to very few EU manufacturers or not that many Jap manufacturers. It's not American, I'll give you at least that.

Thats the point! Uhmm.... Is it a ducati monster?

 

[Lurch]

No, I don't want to be perpetually broken down

 

[Pigs]

No, I don't want to be perpetually broken down

Ah, I see. Not a ducati then. Bmw rg1200?

 

[Lurch]

Not sure BMW make an RG, so not one of them

r1200gs... samething

Husky 610?
Yamaha fz-09?

 

[Lurch]

Nope
Nope
Nope

 

[Poenster]

A CBR600RR ?

 

[Lurch]

Bit more every day than that

 

[lupin]

Now that I know what it is can I drop a hint?

I was close with one of my guesses.

 

[Poenster]

GROM!

 

[Lurch]

I'd so love a Grom! But I literally have no use for it as most of my riding covers distance, and a 125 that can barely hit 60mph/100kmh just won't cut it. If I could spare the money then maybe, but it'd be a third bike type thing.

 

[Lurch]

Now that I know what it is can I drop a hint?

Nope! I've got a ban hammer within easy reach...!

 

[Ride_NZ]

Versys? VStrom?

 

[Lurch]

Tada!!

2010 Sprint ST 1050!

 

[Poenster]

NICE!!!! Love them triples! Many happy safe miles!

 

[Ride_NZ]

Wow! Awesome mate!

 

[Lurch]

Trying to find a new jacket to suit the bike, ideally a summer/-autumn one so it'll do cooler temps and summer, I'll use my bright yellow goretex for the harsher days.

Anyone got any ideas on what might suit? I was hoping to get a Triumph branded jacket but their selection is small
