Well, it certainly looks like a motorcycle to me. You sit on that big black part, grab the handlebars, rolll back on the right side for throttle and hold on. I hear it's a lot of fun.

At first glance I thougt it was an EX500. Then I saw the Yamaha sticker. And it looks like an inline 4. Ship it over to me for a few months and I'll thoroughly inspect it for no charge.

(BTW...the nineties called. They want the Teal Green paintjob back! )

Nice bike!

Where'd the other thing you bought go?

Ah yes.. the GSX600F well, I sent it over for it's MOT (annual safety test) and what I thought was out of tune carbs was a bent valve or something evilly similar, so I sold it on as scrap..... for what I paid, so no loss really.

The Diversion is my new winter ride, plus the fact the 'Truder has to come off the road for a few weeks, for a new paint job and a host of upgrades/mods. There is no way I am using my car for that length of time.
