As ever. > > LOL, talk about childish! Too funny. <Shrug> Tell you what. why don't you just try and engage in rational discussions instead of throwing little snipes in like: "You really should be more careful with these broad general statements you often make." and "International means the UK, the EU? Interesting limited interpretation of the word." and all will be sweetness and light. It makes it worse for you when both those snipes blow up in your face. Just an observation. Try killing the gratuitous snipes, and going back on your promise to continue taking pops whenever you feel like it. -- BMW K1100LT Ducati 750SS Triumph Street Triple Honda CB400F Suzuki TS250 Suzuki GN250 chateaudotmurrayatidnetdotcom Nothing damages a machine more than an ignoramus with a manual, a can-do attitude and a set of cheap tools

There was a 550 and an 1100 as well, neither of which was particularly popular in the UK and neither of which (IMHO) has the nice lines of the 750. I rode a 750 to the south of France and back to England once summer.
