Hi, I'm retuning back to two wheels after a break for a few years, and I decided to stop buying Jap and buy British! I got an '08 striple which I have had for nearly a month now, and I am absolutely loving it. I mainly got it to help with my commute to cut through traffic when on certain shifts (or so I told the missus), but I look for any excuse to get out on it when I am off work. It's an absolute joy to ride. It's had a few tasteful extras done to it too, and I will try to post some pics. Chris.
