well the ktm (the second one) is sold

now I need to decide on a new bike problem is we are moving next week so said bike will be left outside the window on the path , chained the hell up of course

got about £2500 to play with just been offered a tlr1000r for £1650 which is a bit tempting ,but on the other hand I'm considering taking the b1h out of retirement and putting it back in road trim only problem is its been sat for the best part of 6 years am I going to be able to do everything that would be needed to it without a work shop?

I'm thinking all new fluids new battery new tyres new filters and checking all the bolts etc?

Don't buy the TLR, stick the B1 back in road trim and sell all the carbon crap. Remember why you kept it for so long in the first place.

Failing that, sell the bike and buy a new car like I've just had to do lol

If you ask for advice that you've previously already answered yourself...... and you ignore it...... will it cause a paradox in the space-time continuum and result in the universe imploding within a nanosecond?

Don't take the risk...... just do as you say......

Fresh fuel and hope the injectors aren't screwed, and new coolant.

Good day's work that

just going to drain the fuel out and the oil cold will take a while but I think its better than starting it with that crap in there
