First time in about 8 years, im back to one motorcycle again Sad

Have given up the daily commute. Done it for 10 years, all weather, so i've actually earned my right to become a fair weather power ranger pansey rider methinks. Had absolutly no interest on Autotrader, here, and other various bike sites at all. Stuck it on a motorcycle shops im local with and had 3 bits of interest in one day.

Got a phonecall, foriegn bloke offers me £100 less, cash, for the bike. Quick fire around to give the bike a wipe over to make it all sparkly, get all bits together for the old man to collect next day. Other two buyers wanted to come back saturday with their sons, but the Polish chap brought up the money, and rode off. Seems where the Euro is much better than the pound, and they value stuff more, the bikes going to Poland, via Eastbourne Laughing Wrote my receipts, and off it went. 37k, started every single day, even being left up to 3 weeks. 1st time firing it up and no problems.

So now im down to 1 bike again, im a "cage" driver for work for the first time ever. A seat, a radio, HEATERS for the winter. It was a good time to get rid of it.

Here's looking forward to getting a 2nd bike again, only this time, its a track bike Cool

tbh I dont reaaaaalllly want a screaming 600, but it really depends what comes up.

Old mans got a track prepped Tornado with a specially built (from the factory in Italy, only 1 made!!) 1000cc triple engine in it but the head needs to come off. Gonna work on that over winter hopefully.

Otherwise, i'll keep my eye out for an early RSV. If i go down the IL4 route, hopefully at least 750cc, dont really want a thou.

But tbh it all depends on the budget in 6months-1 year really.
