awesomevillebeen an exciting week - arranged myself a new motorbike yesterday after 8 1/2 years out of the saddle, and then got home to find confirmation of press accreditation for both of us for Bramham Horse Trials in the letterbox! |

congratulations on both counts. what bike did you get? 
|
||
| hil26 |
jealous, you bet I am - so what bike you got then?
I'm still looking at the new transalp 700 |

a transalp 
|
||
| hil26 |
Its a whole lot lighter than the BMW brick I had (K100RS) |
||
| jonH |
It's a Suzuki V-Strom 650 GT (in black) - old man's bike according to some but my wrists, back and knees can't do racebikes these days, as much as I love them
I'm picking it up on the 12th and will be my first moby since 2000, can't wait! |

a Transalp lookalike 
|

| jonH |
yeah, similar sort of bike are you thinking of getting a transalp in addition to the goldwing?
next project for me (after sorting our kitchen) is to build a lean-to so the bike has a home
|

Goldwing wasn't mine - unfortunately as Teresa loved it, but at £28K was a shade on the expensive side. |

| jonH |
ah

nice, very nice am jealous, I have had to hold back for the moment as we have just bought a motorhome, delivery a week on friday.
Take care and have fun |

that looks like nice a bike although frightening, one of my son's has a YAMAHA R6 which he spends all day cleaning. | ||
| jonH |
an R6 is infinitely more scary than a strom ;) |
