Got the all clear from the hospital to drive yesterday, so I'm going to take a trip to DK Motorcycles in Stoke today to give me some ideas on what to buy. The Guzzi didn't come off, so it's going to be another SV, or something else, I just need to look around to to see what I might like.
Spoke to the Insurance company and they are supposed to be giving me a telephone call telling me how much they think my old bike is worth as a total loss.
Hopefully back to biking in the very near future :cheers:

So judging by the time of your post, you're not at all excited then about going bike hunting? :)

Sorry to hear the Guzzi plan didn't come off. Would have been nice to hear about somebodies experiences with one.

Still suffer with a lot of pain at night, so don't sleep too well (2-3 hours a night).
Naffed off about the Guzzi because I've had 2 before, but they were "Guzzi" Guzzis and not Aprillia Guzzis.
Never mind, it wasn't meant to be.

Got to be a single or a twin. I dont like IL4s. As much as I like the styling of the zeds I cant do with high revving engines, I'm always looking for the next gear even when I'm in top :smt053:smt021
