Then it'll be on to the carbs.

Meanwhile, I got a can't pass up price on a 2004 BMW R 1150 R in Ferro Metallic (Blue), with all the extras less luggage. Bought it. Pick it up this afternoon.

I'll still get the TDM sorted out and it'll be my usual commuter unless I can't get it sorted. Pretty happy with having a stable of rides to choose from.

I'll post pics soon ...

Good for you. I've always wanted a boxer twin, had a look at a R1150 R a few years ago but they're quite pricey second hand here, even with high miles on them. Lot of people put screens on em, makes them a bit more usable long distance. Does it burn oil?
