    Do Audi do a bike? May have to jump to a CBX...

    I seem to remember that in the death throes of Triumph (Meriden) there was word of them building a 'modular' bike based on a 250cc bore - a 250 single, 500 V twin all the way up to a 1,250 V5! In those days there was lots of talk...

    Audi own Ducati so in a way they do make bikes ... Here's hoping that they might even become reliable :rolleyes:

    John Bloor looked at the old Triumph engine when he first started development of the Hinckley bikes but the thing was bloody awful so he scrapped it and started from scratch.

    Bry if you are in the market for a 6 cyl bike I have 8 Z1300's that a currently available for purchase :biggrin:

    Here's a thing - I took the new SIII for its 1st MoT last Saturday. 1st time on her since November (stuff's been happening). On my way back I took a little detour - 434 miles later and it felt like it was the only bike I'd ever ridden, I felt so at one with it. Looks like I'm going to hold on to her for a couple of months and see if I have gelled with it at last! Only problem now is how to pay for the kitchen I've put a deposit on...
