Er, yes! Why a crate and why on the way home?

Brand new, maybe? Looks v v clean.
That top pic looks like a factory, and there are some other BMW(?) bikes in the background.

....and that is a weird place to keep the keys, dangling from the number plate hanger in a couple of bunches  :o

And, signs saying welcome to our 'something' premiere and 'This weeks manager's specials'!

Perhaps it goes every where by crate saves the mileage   ::)

Sorry I should have explained more, but i was on rushing out.
The crate picture was sent to me by the dealer when it was delivered and the other was the day i bought it home.

I like to take a before and after picture, after being when it has dirt in the nooks and crannies that'll not go.

Coopers in Tunbridge Wells sells both Cars and Bikes

It is one of those bikes that looks better in the crate. Especially with all the cardboard on. ;)

Lovely bike that Blob.  ;) But didn't your last K1300R only have a couple of thousand miles on the clock? Just wondering.  :)

No it's the same bike i bought in 2014, I thought i would make a start on posting pictures of my bikes.
Couple of thousand??? Haven't reach 2,000 yet. With a combination of crap weather and busy weekends I haven't had time to get out on it.

  :'( :'( :'( :'( Leave my baby alone. I wanted a naked bike to help me get a better prospective of speed, plus I don't like the look of the S, the side of is a bit to plain for my liking

Look forward to seeing you around the winding roads of West Sussex...

...hold on though...

...black on black on black colour scheme... Maybe you'd be better off keeping an eye out for me!

I'm definitely avoiding Sussex! Two black holes colliding would eliminate the sun  8)

I'll let you know when I'm travelling through, black leathers boots gloves helmet and bike. Oh and a pair of Zaphods sunglasses that turn completely black when they sense danger so you don't get frightened because you cant see it.... 8)

So how many black bikes can we get together in one place?
Title: Re: In the crate to home
Post by: OxMan on June 13, 2016, 06:44:44 pm
Call it 1,000 on a moonless night at midnight and who's going to tell...
Title: Re: In the crate to home
Post by: Phmode on June 13, 2016, 08:01:41 pm
I think the Black bikes from the dark side should all meet up so we can't admire each other's bikes; but then again, how would we know we were all there?

Is that the improbability drive kicking in for one last hurrah I wonder...?
Title: Re: In the crate to home
Post by: fjtwelve on June 22, 2016, 11:27:56 am
Mate that drive is fully operational in Holland being employed by,Microsoft on their data centre planning department. At least I think its here because I am nearly sure they are on another planet.....
