I sold my bike this afternoon. I now have 1400 nice pounds on my table. But no bike for the first time in almost 8 years Sad

I can't even ride a bike due to a knee injury, but I can't help fell a little sad. How can i get my bike fix?! Cant really work in the garage either so a project is out. Sad

Is your knee good enough to go pillion? Or just go to various local dealers every day and stroke the shiny ones.

Horror!

Couldn't imagine not having a bike at all. How long is your knee out of action for? Couldn't you buy something small and cheap, just so you know there's a bike in the house?

Why not use a couple hundred of that to buy a cat D bike to work on as a project?

ms51ves3: why does it need 500 miles? Are you teaching it how to be a piston?

Be at mine for 8:40am for an exciting pillion ride Wink

.
Or just take the GSXR for a ride if you want smoothness or the KTM if you want straight-leggedness.

What about some kind of PS3/X-Box biking game? I know when I want to go on a killing spree GTA helps get it out of my system, whilst keeping the general public safe.

GSXR was fine riding home today.
I have to admit, I am slightly tempted to take the KTM tomorrow, as it's already covered in crap etc - suspect for most of the ride to wokr, the GSXR would be better.
Have to check what my tyres are; while the worn rear hasn't been great, the front has managed a few (very slow speed) stoppies and done ok breaking, gripping on some lightly snowed bits nicely when I've tested the braking.

As I keep saying - knobblies a bit better in the actual snow, but a chunk worse on icey stuff - nicely light weight bike, but also harder to get your feet down to the side.
