Default Now I've done it... another bike.

Well, I amaze even myself at times. I always said, and firmly believed, that a litre sportsbike would be way too much for the road. But after riding one yesterday in the pouring rain I have to admit they are so easy to ride. More so than a SS600. I guess it boils down to self control and recently my riding has slowed down a hell of a lot. So, I have just put a deposit down on this baby:


Now, how the hell do I explain it to Mrs Dan!???

A mate has a ZX10 (the older version) and loves it to bits. He said he will only replace it when it is no longer able to be fixed....

Yes, that pic is not MY bike. But it was better than the pic of my one next to a bunch of over filled wheelie bins in the rain!
