Welcome back to the world of 2 wheels. Was out most of Saturday on the bike, and yes I was riding like a **** and was just burning fossil fuels for the sake of it, but I don't care.

While getting my hair cut on saturday, I got chatting to a guy who had parked an '08 Gixxer 750 outside. He's a friend of the owner of the barbershop as am I, and after chatting a while he threw the keys at me and told me I could take it round the block.
Took all of my strength to say no, as I know I'll want another if I do something like that.

@ phykell.
Nice, but I'm more of a "plastic bullet" fan myself.

As am I normally - I have a 9R myself and have had various 400cc race-reps but that Norton is just exceptional

You should follow my example with regards to buying TVs. I see the one I want, I buy it!
