    Thanks Mate. Yes it will be learning all over again. Just could not resist it. And my boy can build these in his sleep. And he has a big double garage filled with spares. So he will see more of me.
    Regards
    Joe

    I couldn't resist it. The sound is something else. Closest I have come to this in a few big few years was the hornet. So its going to be a learning curve all over. Still I am only a 150 should learn quickly.
    Regards
    Joe.

    She is really beautiful, let's hope that she is also a beauty inside! It would be interesting to see a few interior shots of his workshop on some day, if it is ok for you and him. :)

    What a beast, I've only done a 500 yard ride on a Speed Twin and the throttle response and acceleration shit the life out of me. Enjoy

    Thanks mate. His garage I can only ask. He is very wary even when I go in there. He has three 675's in there all in racing form. I do think he is converting one back to road trim at present. One I think he is considering breaking for spares for his main race bike which wants for nothing. Of course his is all Daytona's mine is the speed triple. But I will ask him to show us all some pics.

    Now you are starting to scare me. Keep thinking should I or should I have just kept my Hornet which was a real easy bike to ride. Well you can all come and visit me in hospital.

    Yes you are probably right. Got a lot to do with my better half as she helped me fund it. But I have wanted this model for some time now. Saw this one and it had all the bits already fitted so I thought why not. Sorted you beastie yet. I hope so or did you buy the all new bike. Do I understand you have a very sympathetic Better half aswel. Do keep us all in the know. I do know how it feels when you put your heart and soul into a bike and then have a mishap.

    Woh mate you got me all cold with that. Not many people have ever told me that. It usually starts with a you f. Sorry don't swear. Something my mum taught me. And you know yes you will sort it out. You a great partner and the effort you have already put in to your bike it will all end well. Thanks for those words mate. Really touched me. But you know this forum really has a great bunch of Brothers. Perhaps that's why the forum just keeps growing.
    Take Care & God Bless.
    Joe.
