Well some of you know me.

Used to own a ZXR400 L9 on a 51 plate until the start of the year when I sold it. Now had to get another bike for commuting so bought a Suzuki GS500 E with is functional and that's about it, not my 1st choice in bikes but it is reliable and low mileage. Currently paying £107 TPFT but the bike is only really worth about £800 max.

Miss the old 400 and the power delivery from 9K onwards right up to 150mph but not praticle for commuting and the insurance would be stupidly high on it anyway.

Still working for an American bank in Canary Wharf but hate it and hopefully joining the Police Force next year if they'll take me :lol: always wanted to be in the traffic cops (Something about Joy riding legally 8) )

Currently drive a Skoda, yep you heard right. Its a Fabia vRS 1.9 PD TDI but the engine management is far from standard and catches some of the so called hot hatches out alot of the time. Not quite as quick as a Scooby WRX STi but not far off :shock:

Big hello to RobB my old riding buddy.

You will have to mate, a ton with no fairing isn't funny :( plus the brakes are no where as good as the ZXR400, I would be better using my feet in the back wheel to stop :lol:
