Default Bonjour....... Again! lol

Well, I'm turning into Quiff I think Back again, but this time it should be for a while as I'm possibly (almost certainly) rejoining the Suzuki throng.
I'm looking at taking Suzuki up on their interest free credit on the Gladius. My local dealer has offered me a brand new one for £4900 on the road. I know that it's not technically an SV, but it's damned close
My triumph isn't really getting used as much as I'd like, so thought I'd look at something more upright & smaller. I know the Gladius is pig ugly, but, it's basically what I want, so will have to live with the looks.

Good to have you back Mr C. Please keep taking bike racing shots as I was loving those on your Flikr feed. And as Mav says, how did your projects turn out as they were a great read.

Cheers people
Me in a Thong? I feel sick thinking about it lol.
I Bought it, picking it up next weekend....Hopefully, Suzuki deliveries being on time.
Mav, the projects are coming along nicely. Maybe I should update my old thread. The CBX is on hold due to a smokey engine, but the ZXR750 is really coming on a pace. I just love the styling & want to get it done asap.

Erm..... Don't know yet Andy. We're going to the Southern on it as Jo doesn't like the pillion on the Gladys, so I'll see what to do with it after that.
BTW, don't mention anything on FB about it as I haven't told family yet
