Well currently I'm on this...

https://i1291.photobucket.com/albums/b545/paddynewman/track/2014-05-115_zpsb6124f00.jpg

However it is primarily a track bike, just happens to be on the road currently.

Road bike wise, I just put a deposit on a Ducati 899, fancy paying in installments to try and get my credit rating to actually show something of value rather than £30 phone contracts and the like. Waiting for call, should get one Tuesday hopefully.

If that falls through, I'll have to wait and see, I reckon though, GSXR1000 K5/6 come December time... but currently, I really do not know Thumbs Up

I have never found a suitable bike, every single one has a flaw somewhere and I really do want perfection. It does come with 2 bikes though... so finding the 2 is where I am currently.

Gonna use this one when I get paid out Wink My credit rating is a bit naff due to Orange fucking up last year and messing up payments and it was me that suffered from it.

Might give my dad the amount it would cost on finance and then make him sign as my guarantor even though the money is technically coming from him Wink
