With a bike you can listen to all the advise in the world but you either gel with a bike or you dont. It so much more personal than just picking out the model that you think is best.

The sales guy wanted to know why I wasn't buying the bike we had agreed a price on.

3 issues:
1. I've not ridden it
2. You offered me feck all for the Versys
3. I'm moving house

I'll decide what I'm going to do once I've moved and I know my penniless I'm going to be. Yesterday Mrs Kwacky was looking at a detached house with it's own kitchen in the lower ground floor, next to the orangey which is behind the butler's hall (I kid you not).

I could go back to 2 backs if there's a garage and insurance isn't taking the piss. The biking world is my oyster at the moment.

It's about £100k over my budget. Shame as it's a beautiful house.

I've got this afternoon off. I might go on a test ride.

tuono is deffo on my test ride list for next year when it comes to replacing the MT
Remember: If in Doubt use Full Throttle, It may not make the situation any better, But it will end the suspense...
