Suprise
I got a nice gift from Twist and Go Magazine while I was away - a Rock Oil Package which consisted of 2 litres of synthetic oil, 2 bottles of shiny stuff, 2 baseball caps, plus a t-shirt and sweatshirt.
Nice. I must do some more writing. Bill X |

Gift
We visited Doug this afternoon for a catch up and after much coffee drinking and laughing I was handed an unused BMW riding jacket to take home with me.
Oddly enough it matches the "This is what you could have won" so it was hard to resist. Thank you Doug. Bill xxx |

I've just lost interest in owning a Kawasaki J300 because underneath all that lovely styling it's a Kymco.

Not unlike a number of Hodna motors?
I can't help but see a Burgman under the entire class of plastic fantastic almost a step through scooters. Right, wrong or indifferent, that's what they evoke for me. At least Piaggio retains a complete step through. ⚠️ Last edited by tomjasz on UTC; edited 1 time

Hmmmm, nothing particularly wrong with that except it won't be a Kymco price, will it?
I was almost tempted to take a punt on a very cheap 1 year old Kymco Agility 125 a while ago except the seller saw my interest not as a potential sale but as an indication that it was worth more. I think he still has it. |

Then again, the Downtown 300i is a decent scoot. If you wanted one but didn't have a Kymco dealer nearby but did have a decent Kawasaki dealer....

I can't feel passionate about riding a Kymco and I'd feel even less passionate about riding a Japanese scooter that's actually Taiwanese.
Nothing against the brand or the country it just doesn't fire my loins like the Italian stuff does. I was just a bit saddened to find out that even with Kawasaki Heavy Industries massive resources they still turned to someone else to help them make it. Bill X |

Would anyone (by which I probably mean 'would genie' cos I can't think of anyone else it would fit) like a Tucano Urbano Dora jacket, lightly worn for review purposes and fitted with shoulder and elbow armour?
http://tucanourbano.com/Catalogo/item/dora-ab-en-US?categoryFullPath=abbigliamento%2Fgiacche Size 42, which is usually a UK 14, but I'm a 12 and it's still a little tight under the arms. |
