A week is a long time in Katie's garage...
Made me laugh. True though

Remember, when you are dead, you do not know you are dead. It is only painful for others.
The same applies when you are stupid.

I only put 16k on the Futura! Had to sell it 'cos it wasn't ULEZ friendly. About 37k on the VFR, down to 24k on the CBR.
Current daily mileage? 0 :(

I imagine a day is a long time as well

I hate it when people ask if you have a bathroom, I want to say "No we pee in the garden"

Nope, the KTM's still going strong and is first choice for long journeys and holidays. The BMW is to replace the CBR as my commuter
Mind you, I'm gonna need to find another job first. The only criteria is that it should pay lots and be no more than one tankful of fuel return journey per day

Can't find anything in my area. It might be related to local attitudes though:
Oxfordshire Council described motorcyclists as a “danger to themselves” in a transport survey and has been criticised for its “brutal” bias. Oxfordshire County Council also suggested motorbikes were “environmentally unsound”.

Wow, always thought it was just Oxford that was narrow-minded, I know around here Junction 11 M25 our local hospital uses them.

It's the very discrete granite and black (2018). Trying to use up the entirety of my last paycheck on the bits to go with it - LSL crash bungs, Mivv exhaust and, cos it's me, a Ventura top box rack

Talking of bits, I've got an unused replacement indicator which I think fits the Falco, anyone want it?

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts on the BMW when it arrives and you have made a few essential trips.
That is indeed a discreet colour scheme, I'm sure you will surprise the unsuspecting when you pull away from the lights !
