satday - worked all day so no biking ! - doh. was a bit miffed cos weather was nice.
sun- weather was damp initially , but brightened up. Took the speed triple out for a good blast , first ride for a couple of weeks. Spent most of ride mulling over the fact it was exactly 5 yrs since my big crash ( on same road) and whether or not I am gonna change the bike for something new ! Came home safe and sound though.Still completely undecided too ! But I have now done 11k miles on her since buying new 2 yrs ago...so I either pay big money to get the 12k service done ( £400+) or think of part exing ...I do fancy a change, but the sheer bonkersness of this bike still keeps me smiling . Every time I wap that throttle past 6k rpm she just wails man ! The stubby handling nature of the bike both rewards and frustrates at the same time.Maybe its the sort of character which while dont always make sense, is the reason we love a bike ????
