  1. IMG_1419.JPG It's fuckin awesome. I've my 'S' for a week, ridden it once and am in the process of buying an 'R'. Keeping the 998 in any case as I'm not sure which has the sexiest rear end!

  3. She's lovely, very very happy (hence the 'R'), didn't realise what I had been missing. It's the only space I have remaining, the garage is full of cars!
     
  4. No need to apologise :blush:
     
  5. You can fit 4 bikes per car, are you ok in the head :)

  6. I am going to ask about elephant in the room how do you get those bikes up to the loft and down again?

    Also 916 up where great bikes yes but they aged badly, if you look at them now in comparison to new they are not that good.
    So not such great design.

  7. I have a 999 Mono Nero, one of the very last; deep sump, lots of carbon, full system. It was a one off order of a Nero Mono on a non S 999. Had it 6 yrs, its only done 4k miles from new. It sits under a cover in the garage most of the time and I just sit and stare at it sometimes. I truly believe they are a work of art. And I do a few hundred miles each year on it, rides beautifully, sounds like gods going tom war. I've sometimes wondered about selling it but I honestly don't think I ever will. If I did, I know I'd never find another as good again. And its now worth more than I paid for it, what more could you want.

  14. Nelson did a funny repeating his joke two seconds later is just sad.
     
  15. Nelson needs a care taker now? Now I am sure spec savers is needed. This was a joke before from both sides but u now honestly worry about you two. Lol
     
  16. Way late here sir - my apologies!! If you still on lookout for one I'll try and check out where it came from. Quite possibly from Carbon moto, or Design Corse.
