      I'm looking into getting a 'Winter hack' so the 9T doesn't get trashed though the winter months.

      The Honda VFR (pre vtec) has been recommended by a mate at work.

      Does anyone have any recommendations?

      I don't want to spend a fortune either… £2k max.

          Does it have to be fast? Suzuki now makes the VanVan with a 200cc engine. I personally think would make a great winter bike. I had the 125 as my first ever bike and it was insanely fun to ride. Won't be to everyone's tastes though.

          I'll get one one day and treat it as a project… Love to have it end up like this!

            @Sam I'll match your Van Van, and raise you a Grom! (MSX125 to the Brits.)

              @Sam, that looks bloody cool. I'll take a look into them.

                The Indian Scout is stock, as far as I know. It's a good looking bike, but rather small, so @Jordonf9 might need to look elsewhere if he's as lanky as @Sam and I are. 🙂

                Just seen the Ashley Watson Eversholt jacket over at Silodrome.

                It's a waxed canvas jacket with a Dyneema lining to provide abrasion resistance; a waterproof and breathable drop liner to keep you dry; and a set of D3O armour. It's also available in navy. Could be good for riding around town.

                We've got these in stock. www.foundrymotorcycleshop.co.uk

                              @harley dave that old school Electra Glide is lovely, but I can understand why you're nervous about the brakes.

                              I picked up a set of Rizoma Leggera indicators for the Thruxton when I was in the UK. They're tiny, and the rear units also have brake and rear light functions. Plus they have a CE rating, which means they're street legal. Useful when there are over enthusiastic law enforcement officials in these parts. 🙂

                                      I had a Springer,and while it didn't have drum brakes,it was an adventure every time you came to a stop. If you spit on the rear brake pedal it would lock up. Got in th habit of dragging my feet to slow the bike down. Like Fred Flintstone. Great bikes. What years are they?
