Room for one more..... (new bike)
....in the 675 club!?
Went into the dealers yesterday - just to 'look' at a bike. On the phone, the guy said it was up for $14,500 (aus$), but when I got there and asked again, they told me it was $13,000! Result! so I offered to put a deposit down there and then for $12,500 and what dealer can refuse a man offering him money! (*note that if you convert this into pounds then it may not seem like such a good deal, but the secondhand market is far more buoyant in Oz than the UK) So I pick her up just after easter - 07 Triumph Daytona 675 Graphite. 1400kms on the clock and looks new! Chicken strips are about an inch all round though the tyres barely looked scrubbed in. The dealership sold the bike new, but the guy never rode it so he sold it back to them. Has pretty much just been run in and had it's first service. Happy? You bet I am Pics to follow when I collect next week when I have added the pile of mods sitting in my bedroom.

So you're staying in Australia then?
I thought you were coming back to the UK. You should have got a R6, but i'm sure you know that deep down already. |

I thought about getting another R6 - Obviously the superior, 2006+ model like I had before, but I fancied something different and the 675 was the other bike I considered when I bought the R6.

Yep - I do VFX, hence the move to NZ and Weta. Currently working on this: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0499448/ and then most likely onto this: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0458525/
