Hi guys just joined today having bought a 2010 L200 Barbarian with 30kmiles!
I’m over in Cambs and it’s my first Mitsubishi having had Land rovers for years!
I noticed that some of the areas like the for sale section are off limits?
Cheers all

I’m a Biker!! Although not much these days. I’ve still got an ex factory KtM350 but it sits in the garage LOL! I’ve had lots of bikes over the years, I happened to have an R6 when I first needed an internet pseudonym back in the late 90’s and it’s stuck

my bike sits in the garage and gets used as somewhere to hang my coats on more than it gets used on the road
internet ? late 90's ? that was back in the days of dial up modems when no-one could phone you when you were using the internet wasn't it ?

glad you found the map Demon
Tank slappers were part of progressing into manhood I seem to remember
I once fitted some panniers to a VT250 only to find that due to moving the weight so far back on a small bike, tankslappers would happen the second you took pull pressure off the bars. Taking one hand off the bars to wipe your visor was almost suicidal
anyway, we're still kind of on topic
and just to make sure I think @4life-extreme and @Gezza are both into KTMs
