My new ride
Ok so Ive been rumbled and spotted out on my new ride in Derbyshire so I feel its time to come out of the closet and show you all my new bike. Had it delivered last monday and its awesome. So light and powerful and a great riding position. Getting used to the quickshifter now , its so much fun!
I don't care if you lick windows,
Take the special bus
Or occasionally pee on yourself.
You hang in there sunshine, you're special!

For the avoidance of doubt and for the benefit of my wife, not everything I may say here will be absolutely true I may on ocassion embellish a little for effect.
That said when it comes to motorbikes, I like to ride side saddle with a nice frock

It actually quite suits it in the flesh, believe it or not. Still quite large, but doesn't look bad for it. A shorter one will be better no doubt, but every inch of that bike is gorgeoussquadron Nero wrote:I know, I know...
Anyway, Nick, I hope you're going to get a tail tidy for it. That OEM thing looks like some teenager has stuck their selfie stick to the back of your bike.
Far better than some old Benelli

The bike looks like a work of art, a lovely piece of kit.
The only glaring thing is it has to abide by rules and have that ugly mud guard and plate holder.
it's a shame when the rules get in the way of a good design.

It really looks great Nick, the trouble is when you walk into the garage to get it out for a run at this time of year, it can go dark before you stop admiring/drooling over it.
Then again, I'm sure you'll still find the time to enjoy it!
Have fun.
