Are you sure it was the sun that did it - more likely to be the rain over the bank holiday :wink:
Looks nice though :D
thought you only just got it painted with the barbed wire paintjob?
Mmm, I do like a Speed Triple - trouble is people seem to do intergalactic mileages on them, the only ones I can find under £4k seem to have done 25k+! :shock:
From Rictus' posts in the past I can bet his isnt low mileage either! :wink:

I see that all of the time. Stupid Brits,they see a ray of sunshine and they stay in it until they turn that colour! It'll be alright in a day or two mate! 8) :P

Old hat, that's nearly 10 months back now.

Bit of a slow year the last one, 3 months basically off riding, only managed 37,000 miles, that's about 58,000 in total.
But saying that the triple lump isn't really run in until 12,000 miles or so and all my previous ones have done 100,000 or so, 25k isn't anything to be worried about.
Cheers Mark.
