    Welcome back man, it seems like only yesterday you went away and now it's nearly half way through the year!!!

    No mods huh? But don't I recall seeing an aftermarket *tank pad* adhered to the 'Razed R1'?

    Thanks for the welcome backs.


    Not sure about what bike etc. Will really depend on the settlement etc. But I will not be buying new again that was a one off (pleasurable but expensive) experiment.

    Something cheap but mad, streetfighter gsxr11? with lowered gearing?

    it's not being a sheep, it's realising there's only one real machine worth having.

    I lurve that 636, but I was at Mt Eden today, and Callum showed me the Aprilia RSV1000s....

    simply, what a gorgeous bike, beautiful, wow, I mean, all it does is appeal to you to ride it. They had the 05 and 04 factory r side by side.

    But at 35k odd, its also a liiiittle more expensive than a 636. Godda own one some time tho

    Mmmmmmmm,


    All good suggestions. I reckon money is going to be the big thing, I really will be riding on a tight budget so I need max smiles per buck. ALso have lost my no claims bonus so can't afford to bin anything too pricey. I'll keep you all posted.

    Saying that I am still waiting for AMi to finally come through, though I believe there are no remaining issue outstanding.

    How about a complete change of orientation and buying a cruiser? Do you think that could work, I am 37 today so maybe I should take it easier.
