So Tuesday saw me separate Gin Reapers good lady wife from her SD, and me cover my first 80 odd miles on it taking it home, last bike was a '03 Tuono - first impressions are good, but needed to get home so pretty unadventurous road choices, definitely need to get out and do some proper riding on the backroads, fortunately someone has arranged a bank holiday this weekend! All in, very happy with my purchase.
Will also say there's a reason that I love bikes so much, life is not easy at the moment, and on Tuesday I was shattered, I'd spent most of the night in A&E with the missus, had a shit load of trauma coming from work and all the usual distractions and trouble of daily life, by the time I got that bike home I had a grin on my face, my tiredness was forgotten, my internal balance was back and the only worry I had was if there had been any police vans on the bypass. Did I mention that I fooking love bikes?!
Anyway, looking forward to trawling the boards here.
