I bought an '99 Africa Twin("@")for £1500

Ok so no-one else wants one , I've no experience of them , the're heavy off road , they're a Honda and there should be message icon that succintly depicts lunacy to bring you this message.....as I'm pathetic off-road anyway , an @ won't make it any worse , but when I'm stranded I'll have brought all the comforts of home . As a stolen/recovered bike most of the cosmetics are missing and I will replace the essentials with some less attractive to thieves .I'll take some inner tubes/tools/Trailwings/oil/filters.Join me?(LOL)

Well done ! AT has one of the most solid & reliable motor ever built ...friends mechanics told me that never happened to open an AT motor in several years ...only downturns are suspensions (too soft and spongy) and cost
of fairing pieces ...
