The Mule tricks the Donkey into
going along to see a new bike, and they test ride BMW 1200GS and Adventure models, but don't like them at
all.
The Mule on the BMW
“it’s a bit of a pig hey...”
April
2009
The Donkey and the Mule look at KTM
690 Enduro’s, the Donkey is sold, the Mule has reservations.
The Donkey comments on a KTM Riding
Jacket he’s just tried on...
“if I bring this thing home, Miss is gonna fucking flip her lid!”
The Donkey and the Mule meet to
discuss bikes, and agree that an older 640 Adventure is a more sensible choice, neither are 100%
convinced though.
The Mule settles on a second hand
640, calls the guy for bank details but no answer, still agonising about the purchase he looks online one
last time and finds a pair of 950 SE’s in QLD...
Email from the Mule to the
Donkey...
Have you seen these?
950 Super Enduro R – Erzberg Edition,
75kw/90Nm 185kg! but 14.5lt tank is a bit small - it looks frikkin awesome tho!
I’d be happier to spend big on one of these than the 690... would have to sell my bike/soul to pay for it
though…
the Donkey to the Mule...
Are you even remotely considering it ? ! ...
The amount that you change your mind indicates definite mental instability.
I like that.
Oh, and also that it makes as much power as a standard Hypermotard.
I won’t be surprised if you change your mind before sunrise though ;)
See if you can put a refundable deposit down to hold them ‘till then.
the Mule to the Donkey...
There’s a certain camaraderie in making foolish decisions in good company.
So I will if you will.
Fuck it – I’ve never had anything brand new in my life.
Deposit Paid, the Donkey to the
Mule...
I feel sick, real sick.
