Could have helped myself to anything.......

Nice looking bike.

Cool Brad, variety is the spice of life

Well done. It's not my cup of tea, but I understand the sentiment. I'd actually think about a Thruxton for myself
Enjoy it, like you said you're a long time dead.

I got nothing...
Given my current state of health, that looks pretty comfy....

Cheers guys

And still very capable of staying with the sports bikes through the twisties

Bwahahahahaha, I call bullshit! You have no chance of keeping up with a ZRX, let alone a sportsbike.

Your in for a bit of a shock, this is no Hardly Cruiser, but of cause it comes down to the rider.
If you rode a ZX10 & the TBird back to back, there wouldn't be a lot in it.... Although I wouldn't have any pegs left

Seriously though Brad, well done on getting the bike that suits your needs.
Just don't expect the shit stirring to stop.

Wouldn't expect anything less..... Actually it's more positive than I expected, must be eveyones getting older.

did one of the cyclenders fall off? or did the english forget how to build engines?

That would be cylinders and the English build engines just like they write dictionaries.

Nice looking bike Smithy.

Mate I can refer you to a free counseling service ASAP
How eva after see you selection I believe you situation may be unrecoverable

Nice looking bike.

Cheers guys.......

Each and every to their own...

Im waiting for a few things to fall into place, then i will have a fatboy in the shed next year... so i cant talk, and never in a million years would i have said that..

BUT.... gettin close to a 10 or a 6 or any sports bike round any twisties.... think ur dreamin mate.... i know a guy who had a Vrod, who could put the wind up a few sportsbikes thru the spur... but he is a A grade racer for the last 15 odd years and has one aust championship to his name... and even he said... he can give them a fright.... not beat most of them..

But at the end of the day.. as long as u enjoy, and happy with the purchase...

Yeah that's my point. A good rider is capable of putting a sports bike and a TBird through the twisties and there would not be a lot of difference in times.

Congrats Brad...

It looks umm... Nice?

soooo whens your first touring sesh taking place brad?
coming west to run her in
