Default New Bike!

Well, I may have just purchased a new toy for the garage

Its been 6 years since I have been on a bike, and decided this weekend to look into two wheels again.
So off I toddled to the local motorcycle factor

having sat on a few, I just didnt feel comfortable on a sports bike again... so I sat on a few cruisers.
Its probably my impending age as well, cos I really liked the Suzuki Intruder.

So i test rode yesterday, and just was besotted

got back, and promptly bought it!!
Picking it up tomorrow hopefully, if the insurance comes through in time.

will post pics when i have in in my excited hands


as an aside, all you sporty bikers.. I have a ser of Oxford lifetime sports panniers if anyone is interested, and also an expandable oxford tank bag

It's not before time then!

I wouldn't be so bothered about sports bikes anyway - these days it's just too easy to lose your licence and TBH, I'd rather have something comfortable that I *want* to ride than something uncomfortable I can't.

The intruder is a great looking bike though

I would love to see some pics!

I really like bikes but after 18months of my little 50cc "hairdryer" I moved into car territory!

Maybe one day...

p.s. PICS!
