Re: Another one of them all white all show no go pig irons

Yes I have put it back on ebay and have had a couple of people show some interest this afternoon.

If it does sell reasonably quickly I may have done a cracking deal on a really nice 1100RT that JB stumbled across on his travels.

I like the Basic alot but it doesn't really fit with what I want to do this year.

I don't plan on any off roading, I would like to spend a week in the SE of France, go on a few camping trips, maybe take Euan away once and if I can get the time off I want to go on the Germany trip.

I have always quite fancied trying an RT and it would be alot more suited to covering some miles in comfort and at speed than the airhead.

Well you were wrong on that occasion.

I had to make choices about what I wanted.

Was it .....

A 1997 Airhead

or

A 1999 1100RT, a weeks holiday for 2 in New York, a Canadian Canoe and my 1/2 of an 8 day school trip to the Ardeche.

Regrets, nah

People will wise up soon and the airheads will stop fetching that kind of money, in fact I reckon the prices peaked last year.

The R11RT will serve you well...................fine bikes
