    Back in the Springtime, I 'gave' my Street Triple RS to my son on a bank of Dad basis (if Carlsberg did bike loans, that sort of thing). Well fast forward to a week ago and I 'borrowed' the bike back for a few days and realising what I had let go I've just put a deposit on a Bright Red very low mileage '24 plate model (pics to follow). Bloody ebay, costs me a fortune! Lol.

    Sounds a familiar story! I think the bank of mum and dad must have many branches! Not forgetting the bank of Grandad as well!!

    The new (to me) RS was dropped off this morning, I was impressed with the performance, it appears to do everything well, which to be honest my old '17 plate RS did, but this seems even more planted. After a 40 odd mile initial ride that bloody awful number plate holder had to go, so I spent the remainder of the afternoon fitting a replacement. I just noticed, do you think I like the colour Red? Car, Bike, Garage doors! Lol
