    My new commuter

    Goodbye congestion, hello freedom (and soggy undies at work). It arrived today and will be picked up tomorrow just in time for winter. Hopefully the weather will be good this weekend so I can post a review but from what I've heard, they're like a pit bull.

    Awesome bike Finn, well done mate
    To every man upon this earth
    Death cometh sooner or late
    And how can a man die better
    Than facing fearful odds
    For the ashes of his fathers
    And the temples of his Gods

    Nice, very nice. Are you waiting for the Porsche to sell so you can afford some decent wet weather gear and avoid the soggy undie syndrome?

    Yip, it's a collectors item and in 10 years it'll be worth nothing.

    Got the wet weathers sorted already. Also got a wardrobe at work with a supply of clean, dry undies (and some dirty magazines)

    Why do you need dirty magazines when you have a bike like that? Surely a man can only expend so much seminal fluid in one day?

    Mate, that is a fkin WEAPON. So very very nice . . . I'm still a little undecided about the headlight, but overall that is one mean looking sonofabitch.

    Nice choice, good to see something a little out of the ordinary finding its way onto our streets.

    We'll is it Italian so it's bound to fall off anyway. Yeah, it looks like it's crying or something but then I thought if it was round it'd be a bit plain. it might grow on me.

    It does kinda fit with the rest of the bike tho. Get used to it too, the Italians arent as bad as everyone makes out (well, the aprilia has done me proud so far).

    That is a seriously cool looking bike you've got there tho, Finn. A very nice choice, Guru is impressed.
