Took it for a short blat up the road and back and was very very nice. Told him about the fri night rides so hoping he comes along for a bit of a ride next fri. Still not sure who is is or where he comes from and he doesnt know me from a bar of soap but he did give me his keys/bike/helmet.

yes you were grinning from ear to ear when you got back!! Very nice guy...aussie bloke but wont really hold that against him!!
Very nice bike too...not too keen on the look of the air intake as it just juts out the front instead of being nicely moulded into the bike like the nine.

How did you guess

I can't keep gixxer in the fields for love nor money. Gonna have to put him in the freezer before the tennant invites me for lamb roast. The sheep are unpopular for eating his 'herbs'

Thats cause you have such an innocent and trusting face

And anyway he doesn't know you and had Mrs C hostage!!!

Sounds like a mint bike,was it green? Does it come in green? After all you know how important it is to accessorize. We would get really confused if you changed colour. Or are you after a sapphire green version

Sounds like you had fun
