Hardly seems relevant now, , "Uncle Ernie" but no , that doesn't look like an aerostitch suit (didn't know what they were called before, just that I didn't especially like them) , and I didn't mean to offend yor BMW sensibilities. I was just thinking out loud. And after all that has been said above, even though I know I can pick up a reliable 650 S 40 for a song and fiddle with it to my hearts content until I get something that looks like a big single standard, I still would rather have an RE. T'aint rational, but then , neither , I suppose , is riding on two wheels. Great picture. Magazine cover sometime ? Nigel
