...that I buy another Smile

One week after flogging the Enfield, I'm now up and running on a nice black CB500. I'll get some piccies sorted sometime, but I'll be making the most of the sun for the next few days Thumbs Up

Test rode a GPZ500S and a Virago XV535, but weighing up everything I'd want from the bike, the CB was a clear winner. Should make commuting a tad easier, now that I don't have to find lorries on the M1 that are restricted to 56mph and ride in their slipstream Smile

Here's a couple of piccies - I'll post better ones once I've given the bike a tidy up.

Yup, I'd been thinking for a while to sell the Bullet, as my commutes are getting longer and although the Enfield could do it, It's not something I'd like to do every day. It's great for a weekend bimble, but at the end of a stressy day when I just want to get home ASAP, it's not the ideal ride. Also, I'm terminaly lazy, so it was quite a feat of willpower to clean it after a ride, when all I really wanted to do is grab a hot bath and a beer. With the CB, I won't feel as guilty if I put the bike away wet, and I can blat home at a ton instead of burbling at 55-60 being tailgated by french lorry drivers Smile
