    I went to pick up my new seat from the dealer and just to the right of the counter saw this K7 GSX-R1000 Chris Vermeulen limited edition. 1800 miles and signed by him with certificate of authenticity. As new, truly amazing to look at. All for £6K.

    :laughing: I actually told the dealer to ring me if falls through, it is/was reserved without a deposit. I'd have paid for it there and then. Only 6 were made like this apparently.

    Well worth the money, especially for a special bit of kit like that with 1800 miles on it, just have a look at what they what for a 1000cc superbike these days! :eek:

    I had the K5, what a bike, I think the K7 was the first model with switchable modes?

    That's like dating Megan Fox & complaining she isn't very good at ironing!

    She's very good at ironing apparently, there's many a time I've stood watching her and admiring her crease! :joy::joy::joy:

    Ah sorry I thought that was a euphemism for what you did to Megan Fox for doing your ironing! :joy:

    Then I saw the crying face at the end & realised the bike is now sold & therefore beyond your reach :(, sympathies mate but your licence will be a bit safer! ;)

    Because I’m very old I naturally assumed the post was about the lack of toilet facilities at dealerships due to virus legislation ! ... I was particularly interested as I’m taking my bike in for a ‘while u wait’ service in a couple of weeks... it’s an hour each way + 2 hour service time... and was hoping for some first hand advice on what sort of relief tube & bag is recommended ! ... I share the joys of old age for you all to look forward to ha ha :confused:

    What on earth are you trying to do?

    Why are you kneeling on the seat to do it?

    Mind the buckle from your watch strap on the paintwork, love!
