    Deal of the year

    Here in Guadalajara Mexico I paid MX$375k for a pure FE with no cruise and 1600km a discount of MX$80k and they offered 0% finance.

    Clock

    Ah life happens, hasn't put me off, the puncture happened at 100kph on a freeway surrounded by 32 wheelers.. the bike vibrated much more than usual but was steady as a rock. I was 3 kms from home so risked getting there before air ran out. Besides that no where to stop on the Periferico in...
