The cars and bikes thread!

This colour. Delivered just before my wife files for divorce, I'd imagine.

That's the art of the acquisition, getting the wife's encouragement, not disagreement. You already got the bike, surely a tarted up 3 series would be an easy sell.

I could get it in grey, switch the plates and she'd never notice the difference

43 mph top speed...

Not sure whether that would be safe

I wouldn't get a manual 4x4...

Why not? It’s still a BMW. Plus, a manual is better in poor weather conditions.

It would force many dangerous overtakes I'm sure.

Dunno - just don't think I would.

I drove bikes when I was younger, so I know. My first bike was a bike that should never have been a first bike:

Interesting, my first street bike was an RD400 Daytona Special. This was not my first motorcycle, that was a YZ100 that was replaced progressively through the years by larger and more powerful motocross racers.




The YZ100 was the first Motocross motorcycle with a single shock rear suspension. The shock ran up under the fuel tank to the middle of the steering head. No progressive linkage like they would evolve to.



First bike I ever road was a Hodaka Combat Wombat.
