New bike.

[Old Git Racing]

Felt to be missing something. Got the Wing for touring, the Street twin for bobbling around the lanes.

I try and do a couple of trackdays every year but with covid and not having a suitable steed I've missed out the last couple of years.

Went to check out a K2 Gixxer 750 at a dealers, right money, looked ok. In real life viewing it wasnt as good as the pics. Think the sales guy could tell I wasn't impressed so he said can I show you something that only came in a couple of days ago.

I had a look and am now the slightly nervous owner of a K3 Gixxer 1000 . Immaculate condition 12k miles, Ti pipes with Koffman 'silencer', PC3, expensive shorty levers and fancy adjustable rearsets. Almost new Michelin Pilot supersports tyres.

Suspect its been a track day bike although everything is otherwise standard and all present and correct.
I have only ridden it back home, about 25 miles, the last 10 being on roads I know from Squires. Fueling is spot on, must have been on a dyno and it rides beautifully, but hells teeth, you forget how fast these things are after not riding them for a few years.

So roll on spring and Cadwell, 65 years old this year, not so long left so fuck it, why not

PS I'll attempt get a pic up but am a bit of a dumpkof with tec
