Hi all, my name is John and i come from the west of Ireland. I have purchased a 96 divvy 600 last November which is in excellent condition with only 31000 kms. My son discovered your excellent site, for which i have got endless about information about the divvy including the problem with the breather pipes. I just completed a weekend with my son (on a Deauville) covering over 900 kms and i very happy with its performance. Looking foreward to be part of a great friendly helpful group.

Hello, I'm Mike I have been riding an xj600s(w reg) diversion for 3 years, I can't say it's been trouble free, but it is very reliable. It does what I ask it to do which is to take my son up and down motorways to support Chippenham Town Football Club. On the whole I can't fault the bike but I do sometimes wonder if a xj900 diversion would be better(especially on the cross winds going south on the M5 motorway)

Hello all,
Been lurking for a little while. I'm a sad git without a Divi but am no stranger to them having owned three 600s (one of them twice) and a 900. Hope to pick up a 600 this year if I spot a decent one at a good price. I may end up getting something else but there are very few bikes that come close to the Divi for practical day to day biking and as I know them well can spot some of the iffy ones on ebay (eg a "2003" model with a single disk front).....

Hi Linda, Sounds like the Yorkie run could be the ideal place to start.

[/td][/color][/quote] I lean well, can get horizontal in fact, go at it at a fair old rate and am experienced Unfortunately I'm a bit too far from Bradford  Welcome to the club though, I don't think we've got many members around Bradford to be honest, but you never know your luck |

She has been on all sorts recently though Beebs so maybe your well polished older one is just the ticket.
Wouldn't recommend the TDM though, she fancies some speed.

C'mon womanminusbike, you can't have a first post begging a pillion without a photo. You might look like me without a beard (or maybe with a better one)

Blast  ....I've been trying to do this now for nearly an hour and somewhere i must be going wrong!!!
So i thought i would just describe myself and that will have to do until i have more time to figure this out.
Five foot and Pretty......will that do you?......after all i'm only wanting to sit on the back of a bike and you won't even be able to see me.
Thanks, Linda.

Thanks, Linda. Don't worry about it Linda. Ignore Bev. He's a bloke with a girls name, a bit of a perv and very shallow! We're not all the same |
