    Went for a look at a bike this evening and really couldn't let this one go as it was just too tidy and as it seems that I will never get a Super III in my garage, so I went for one of the other bikes that I have wanted for some time.

    Lets just say that my missus is not amused :rolleyes:

    Anyway this one is very tidy and has only done 14000 miles as well as having a load of work done on it by the previous owner.

    And here was me saying that I would never buy another fuel injected bike again.

    Well rode the bike home today and it is safely in my garage and almost all ready for the Ace Cafe tomorrow :cool:

    Still needs a few things done to it as I think it is running a bit lean fuel wise but I will try and get that sorted as soon as I can.

    The suspension on the bike has been really well set up and it is like it is on rails and the brakes are brilliant. But bloody hell it is noisy with the Laser end can (oh well they wont be able to say that they didn't hear me coming).

    All in all very happy with the bike, but just have to get used to leaning that far forward again as it's a bit harder on the wrists than my other bikes, the joys of old age then :rolleyes:

    Did over 100 miles on the T595 today up to the Ace cafe and over to Loomies (road was full of Hampshire traffic officers so was behaving myself ) Bike went really well brilliant handling and suspension is set up perfectly for a change.

    Anyway here are a few photos from the Ace today :biggrin:

    I'm always in trouble with my wife. It seems no matter how much you do, they're never satisfied.

    Actually it was a really good day I had a long talk to the guys from the Mk 1 Speed Triple club (one of my favorite bikes) and also had a very long conversation with David Lilley from Jack Lilley Triumph who is a top bloke. :upyeah:
