..... and I'm scared!

Its an 06 Triumph Speed Four with 8k on the clock, FSH, MOTs, both keys and the original docs and book.

I'm taking someone with me who knows what they are looking at, i've had years of experience in buying cars but none with bikes!

Best pass my mod 2 so I can actually ride it if its good!

Nothing to be scared of as long as you treat it with respect and don't push your luck.

When ever I get a bike, I like to take it for a ride but I don't go insane, just ride it like its a 125 then slowly increase speeds etc.

Take it easy, you will have no problems, just stay relaxed the first 15mins or so you will be slightly nervous but it will soon go and be replaced with confidence and a massive grin. Thumbs Up Very Happy
