Oh dear, are you going to be on one of those awful "brits abroad" programmes?

I shall be having a ride out with my friends on mopeds

I wont, but my friends might lol!

Nice to see you are alive and well Deltron, looks like the ride out on the 10th could be a cracker if everyone makes an appearance and KJ doesn't breakdown again

I can't promise that I'll be there - it all depends on the DVLA pulling their finger out and I need to get the bike MOT'd and taxed on the day before (first day I can ride again!).

Can't believe you got rid of the SV! Did you even have it a year?

Don't think he even got his ass of the seat round a corner on it because he had it for such a short time!

Both brand new bikes as well! Someone must be doing well!

Rumours he's been doing dodgy deals and backhanders for MPs!

Yeah, I got to the point where I wanted better brakes and suspension and with a 2010 pointy I couldn't justify the big modifications with it being so new....I test rode a few and then went for the bike I wanted for the long term with was the SMT, the brakes and suspension on it are awesome...and I doubt I'll change my bike now for a good few years, if ever...

I did lose a lot on the trade in but not as much as it would have been is I hadn't got an ex-demo SV, I lost approx 1K off the purchase price but some things were thrown in with the SMT

The bike is great for touring (I have the panniers) - I am planning to go up to Scotland this year, and I really hope to tour a little of Europe next year....possibly with my old man (he just got a BMW F800ST)

Nope, and I doubt I'll do it with the SMT either, I'm not that type of rider....I can go fast enough around the corners to get a thrill without hanging off the bike...I get great pleasure from my bikes torque out of the corners

It's all this contracting I am doing, I haven't had a proper holiday in 3 years so the bike is the only proper release I get (that I am willing to talk about anyway). I should be putting the bike to good use soon for work commuting...Norwich to Walsall and Preston

If I was I would be in a 4 bed fully detached house with double garage and have atleast 4 bikes! As it is I settled for one good one
