Err, yer, what he says North California can get cold and wet. You will limit where you can go up north We are heading over this time in Sept to catch some some decent weather up north before following the season south. Seriously, reconsider the time or go over to Arizona/New Mexico etc

I like the look of the new Bonnie but maybe a Versys would be more practicle. I havent ridden either, Lozzo? Test ride? Anyone in the south got a Bonnie? I could get a test ride Im sure at a local dealer. -- Owen

Give me a bell at work 01234 302677 to arrange something. Not many dealers have put a Versys on as a demo, but for some reason we did. http://www.supamoto.co.uk/ Got 0% finance on the Versys at the moment as well. -- Lozzo Versys 650 Tourer, CBR600F-W racebike in the making, TS250C, RD400F (somewhere) |
