And as for owning an MT in Ireland....what about the rust? It's typical Yamaha!

Rust?? I think they are made from rust as its appearing everywhere. Bah humbug.

DAMN! Just as I sold mt MT-03, you guys all turn up!

Great bikes, but REALLY uncomfy (I'm very skinny tho...no padding at all). Finally got rid to make room for my Dad's XBR as he retires from kickstart bikes (he still has an electric start 250), but will miss the cycle-like handling and nippiness, and the sound.

Ahem, still got bits for sale (see that section).

It,s become apparent to me that the phrase "build quality" does not does not have an Italian language equivalent! Faded plastics, rusty disc bolts, paint peeling from the frame, etc. My FZR has lasted better & it,s sixteen years old! :o >:(

Welcome.... but we are not all muddy perverts   ;) ;D

For off-roading I own a modified Suzuki Samurai. Used LandRovers in the mud for many years at work... Swore to never sit in one or TirFor one out of the sh¡t again . (good eh, spanish upturned  "!")
And a chinese 650cc buggy with a Mitsubishi clone engine (good design but the alloys seem to be part cream-cheese and the clearances are measured with a worn ruler)  ::)
Gave up primus stoves and tilley lamps as soon as I could afford a nice pub room for the night  8)
(its all to do with age, arthritis and getting soft).

Build quality? Try a Catalan-built Honda 644, SLR or Vigor (No Primer. No Torque wrench. No assembly grease.) I live in Andalucia, we don't call the Catalans "Spanish".

As for weather wimmin... how about the one from Midlands TV with the sticky-up spiked hair? (I prefer skinny women  :-* )

But thumpers rule forever and size DOES matter  ;)
