May I present the salient facts about myself:
FXRT 1984 (Stripped to FXR after about 15 K), now about 230 K, Kickstart only
FXRD 1986 (Stock plus all trimmings) abt 130 K
XR1200 2008, abt 21 K
Both FXR rather, shall we say, run down :-)
Bikes not clean, but riding at least one of them on most business days to work.
FXR and FXRT share a license plate, so I can only run one of them at a time (Shared license plate a feature of our Swiss regulations here)
