Default I've sold my bike

Was sure that nobody was interested so even bought a few cheap bits and pieces for it recently, including a carbon end cap from TLW

And suddenly it went today.

I should be feeling pleased, but instead I feel flat and disappointed. Whilst I never rode the bike that fast, the handling was simply fantastic. It was so rewarding to ride. A few people on a thread on biking issues gave 675s a big thumbs down, to you I can only say you have never owned one.

So, what to buy next. Can't afford much, I'm a poor solicitor. Budget of £1500 absolutely top whack and preferably less. Can't be a shed as I have neither the skills nor the time to fix it. No idea what I want, which doesn't help

Good news but sad news Ed.

Got to be an SV I think.

Sorry to hear about the bike Ed, in a way it gives you a fresh start, how about something strange and unusual? Carol had a Cossack Combi a few years ago and said that not only was it bomb proof, it was also great fun for a little while. What ever you decide to go for, make sure you buy something good and safe. Have you ever thought of a little Suzuki, they make a great bike called an SV...
