The bike is sold.
Who bought it?
Club member?
Well Charles was so bloody inconsiderate! He refused to buzz off to Oz and leave the Badger here after PROMISING me that I could have it.
I was so inconsolable and desparate that Di decided I NEEDED one so she ORDERED me to buy it.
Now the decision ... do I paint it black? 
That is one hell of a bargain and an awesome bike. I am envious. Swap? 
(If not Mr.Badger then maybe Julie for Di: today Julie 'ordered' me to buy socks - I would prefer to be commanded to buy another bike) (Does Di have a whip?).
Now the decision ... do I paint it black?
I think black would look awesome on the 1150GS Adventure! Black mean machine! ;-)
Congratulations, Peter. I think it is the best possible replacement for a Dakar. Enjoy the new bike, but don't forget your Dakar background and colleagues. Remember to still wave to Dakars.
Now the decision ... do I paint it black?
I'm surprised Neil hasn't suggested pink.
Black is always a good choice - but the 1150 in white is absolutely fantastic. Take a look at the limited edition ones.
Pete I think it would look distinctive done as Mr Badger with a difference: replace the blue with either dishwashing glove yellow or powder pink....it will look superb, you with Andyman running as your wingman.
I'll still wave at the Dakars because I still have one. I don't intend getting rid of the 650 because that is really a fun bike.
If I paint the 1150 pink then I'm not sure that either Julie or Di will ride on the back; though Charles would make a good WingPerson.
