Nice one Barwell. Fully understand why you'd want to get a bike again. I couldn't give up, and if it's somebody's passion then they shouldn't.

I wondered why you wanted him to go on a diet, and if Barwell is the same weight as he used to be (i.e. same as me), getting down to 14 stone before summer was pretty ambitious!

I had a 1050 Speed Triple for 5 years and it was probably the best bike I've ever owned. And also the only bike that I never dropped. I did have several close shaves on it where a lesser bike might have gone tarmac surfing.

its the abarth so 1.4 turbo, and as below mine was tuned from 155bhp to 185bhp although i have seen no real change in fuel usage, gets about 32mpg the saxo gets 40+ might have to spend a bit of cash on the saxo but not a lot to get it back on the road
