    So what's the new bike going to be McJim??
    Or have you already said and I missed it due to being blonde and slightly blind?

    I'm currently pooling my resources to see what I can afford.

    I was watching a number of Ducati 900ss bikes but unfortunately they have expired and not been re-listed on trademe. I still don't know how much I can spend.

    Can't test ride any until 4th May anyway..and thats only if I pass.

    Driving a car again for the moment.

    Haven't you been saving up the tops of your cereal boxes?

    The only way for someone of reasonable ability NOT to pass is to turn up falling down drunk.

    Hmmmm, having said that, you are Scottish.....

    I might be able to go down to watch as I don't think I have any assignments due the next day

    Are you going down Saturday or Sunday? Driving or RG150ing?

    It has gone.

    I am VTR-less. N1CK collected it this afternoon.

    Looking at options at the moment - all the Ducati's I'm interested in are either viewable when I'm not available, too old, too expensive, need too much work etc. I will therefore prolly get a Jap bike.....and hate it forever until I can afford a Ducati. Then I may discover that I hate Ducatis after all.

    Should really wait until I can actually test ride a bigger bike (4th May) but then I've always been impetuous.

    I also keep getting suggestions from people that require $4,000 more than I can actually spend. How come everyone else is so rich?

    So I must content myself with a 1800cc 1994 Nissan and the loan of my wife's RG150 to shift my lardy arse around Auckland.

    Don't worry babe, you'll get a Ducati one day, maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow but someday. Had to laugh though when you asked if tingling hands were a normal thing from riding my bike. Yep those two smokers vibrate and buzz you. I'm so used to it now. I'm looking forward to getting my full and hopefully getting an affordable 400 or 600 for me. Whoopee.

    Yeah, Think I'll look at a VTR1000 Fireyawn or a SV1000S. I might even consider an old TL1000 if I take some bravery tablets.

    Thought about a Cagiva but they don't do one with a decent fairing and I've had enough of naked bikes and getting wind in the chest - Ideally wanted something fully faired and V Twin so the 900ss fitted the bill. I've only got $8,000 to spend though. The VTR1000, SV1000s and TL1000s all have half arsed bikini fairings which is what put me off them before.

    We shall see what we shall see...oh and I fucken HATE the sound of 4 cyl and parallel twins so don't suggest any of them if you don't want abused!

    Took the RG out for a blat - it's growing on me a bit. Cool wee bike.

    Im considering the v-twin route also. Quite keen on the TL1000S but they do make me a little nervous. Besides as I understand it they have crap tank range and poor fuel economy to. Good prices!

    What about an Aprillia? Get a good 00-03 RSV for about $12k these days...

    Ah, just spotted your price range
