I'm back....

[aarond]

Well the last couple years been a bit rubbish.. Uni meant I had no time and no money for riding my Tl :( got a job though now I am finished and decided to get a bike back, unfortunately though after much reluctance I decided the Tl just wasn't practical for commuting in town. So I decided to look at getting something else and perhaps the bike I have been after since it came out, the daytona 675. Started looking at second hand ones, went into the dealer here and had a go of the demonstrator. Cut a. Long story short I picked up a new 675R yesterday... Breaking in the engine sucks,150 miles down!

And then I wanted to great my dad out on the rode (it's been about 30 years) so I got my old trusty xj out the shed, fresh battery, petrol and oil... Cranked and started. Love Japanese bike reliability!

So we went for a wee ride

[Bibio]

thats f'n lovely. not to sure of the red rear subframe though.

nice to see you getting your dad out and about on a bike :-)

[aarond]

It was great getting him out, finally feel like I have actually managed to give back something after all the hard work I put him through :)

So you ditch the Tl because it's not practical for commuting in town and replace it with that most humble of A-B workhorses...

the Daytona 675R

Excellent choice! :-)

[aarond]

Ha h yeah getting 56mpg just now much better than the tt, also far better than the tl! May be down Edinburgh way on Friday if any one is about?

[haggis]

Oh my lordy Aaron, that's a fecking awesome upgrade. You'll soon get those miles on the clock to fully enjoy it.

:D

[aarond]

Yeah just rolled over 520miles... May be going down to Edinburgh over the weekend too so that will rack up more.

[tonyk]

And yet another one turns to the dark side........this might as well be a trump forum...lol.
Not a bad bike.
