Gidday Fellas,

And what a tidy shed it was to Steve, but not the bloody work bench

Very noice bike, there are still the odd good one around. I can't understand why you didn't snap up the turquoise one.
Mal (envious )

That's a very nice looking bike. Um, y'know ... for an RS.
So, are you going to time-share this bike?

Nothin' lost, all easy to find as long as certain bits get placed in the same spot when not in use!

O, that poor RS. Think about it - a nice RS, down on its luck and unloved, snapped up by the Steve and Grant RS Acquisition Cartel, taken to a nice shed with other well-loved RS bikes and comfortably surrounded by BMW parts, tools and memorabilia. It must have felt that its time had come at last. Here it would be fondled, maintained, loved and ridden. But no, it is treated like an object. Ok, fondled a bit, cleaned, tarted up perhaps, but ultimately sold to the highest bidder in the classic motorcycle meat market and shipped off to who-knows-what fate. It could be in the greedy and greasy hands of a dismantler. Or stuffed and mounted as a collector's trophy. Or worse, in the carefully manicured hands of a cafe, bobber, rat, bat, frankenbeemer or chopper-obsessed hipster, consigned to a very uncertain and probably tasteless fate.

I could be wrong, of course. Tell me I'm wrong.

ps: And hey, you missed the chance to exploit a rich american tourist. Isn't that just a bit un-australian?
