Tipton, west midlands… far away from Gosport?

About 100 miles, but about 15 miles from my mother, who I have to see soon…...

Just spoken to my accountant, it's a business expense, so it'll actually cost me less that 60% of the purchase price in real terms…..

hhaha so its on then g?

I have a delicate negotiation with her who must be obeyed. I like the one I posted above, I like the fact that it looks new, has been over-bored and has some nice carburation. But the XT500 is not that rare…..

Getting past veto power is definitely the toughest part of getting a bike. I had to get a couple of my wifes female riding friends on my side to persuade. Good luck Giles.

There's always that "It's easier to ask for forgiveness than permission," thing, too.

Perfect day to free the bike from the battery tender and start riding. First ride of 2013. It's been way to cold here in Utah, but 46F was just what I needed.

really nice bike but the scenery is mindblowing.

Thanks. Pretty lucky being this close to the Mtns. 20 mins from my door to 4 different ski resorts. When its warmer i usually ride by the canyons on my commute to catch 15 mins of twisties before heading home.

Thanks. I do love IG

Giles

I'm going to take this as a yes….."Go on then, go and kill yourself and then all my troubles will be over".....Not exactly a whole hearted endorsement, but it will do for me...

injunjack

Good….Get biggest baddest anf fastest as you have a permission now....

Giles

Well, this is the current target…..

Giles, if you're after any instruction I passed my test with Mark at M&D Training, and he's based up at Hilsea.

Apparently when one of the driving examiners wanted to get his bike license, the old school, and rather strict, bike examiner recommended Mark.

Me doing my test around Gosvegas suggests to me that it is actually the centre of the universe. :o

Giles

Thanks Graeme…

Giles

And it is mine….
