Enjoy it. You can't beat new bike day.

Fooking hell, it feels great to be getting on a new bike after 2 years of having no bike at all.

In the dealership,s coffee shop at the moment having free lunch paid for by them.

I've driven it ... lovely countryside. Plan to do it on the bike at some point , maybe this year but I'm not one to plan too far in the future so it'd be more of a spur of the moment thing . Still can't decide whether I'd camp or go the b&b route .... or chuck the bike in the van and use that a...

I'm a software developer (for my sins), just over 6 years ago I set up my own company and went contracting.
