I've not been this giddy for a long time, I'm more nervous than when I took my test. I've never felt like this when I've been going to buy a car (and I've bought a few of them), but hopefully money will be changing hands today for my new (two) wheels. Don't know if I'll get back to pick it up later today, or if it will be Monday after sorting out the insurance etc tomorrow, but I'm hoping I'll be going to work on it on Tuesday, weather permitting! I'm not going to spoil the surprise, but I'll put pictures up as soon as I possibly can. Thanks to everyone who gave me advice and encouragement, you're all top.
Those that didn't...well, today I'm thinking everything's pretty groovy, so have some love. ____________________ Responsibility. It's a difficult reality for some. I'm running the 2014 Sheffield Half Marathon on behalf of Bluebell Wood Childrens Hospice. Please sponsor me, even if it's just a quid.

Do we get to know what your picking up or do we have to wait in suspense for pictures ? ____________________ Being shot out of a cannon will always be better than being squeezed out of a tube. That is why God made fast motorcycles |

Well done CaNsA. '05, 12k, 2.25 grands. Black. Looks immaculate. Sounds brand new. Sounds pretty fucking awesome if I'm honest.
I went with the intention of buying the GSXr K1 I'd been drooling over, but there were far too many cosmetic issues with it, and the stick on carbon inside the fairing was nasty. Although the main thing that put me off was when the guy fired it up. It sounded like the doorbell to the 7th gate of hell. With the stock can. Satan himself raised an eyebrow. Maybe in a year or so, but I wouldn't trust myself. Not yet anyway!

Its awesome picking up a new bike.
I was nice mix of nervous & excited when i went to pick the blade up. the nervousness soon wore off and turned into pure grin when I got on the motorway and cracked the throttle open

Aye few things can top the new bike day
When I bought my old SP1 they wheeled it through to the front of the shop and fired it up there, pretty much inside a long conservatory, needless to say the noise was unforgettable Those noise made me feel like I was leaving the pits and joining in on a WSB round ____________________ 2010 Triumph 1050 Sprint ST |
