    Well today I tough I would test ride a secondhand GSK-R1000K2 or 3.

    But instead, ended up buying a 'New' GSX-R1000K4!! It's the fist
    brand spanker I've had, and it's great!

    Having not ridden a bike for a very poor 2+ years, to say I was
    impressed with it is a bit of an understatement.

    SWMBO seem pretty cool about it to; but I might just have to lose the
    pillion seat - fast!

    I'd just like to say how nice it is to be back.

    TTFN

    I hate him. I've finally managed to afford one, but my confidence is so
    fucked that I'll probably never be able to ride it anywhere near
    properly, and he just fucking swans out there and buys one...and it's a
    better one than mine.

    Hate him, hate him I tell thee.

    Result all round. Fucking well done, man.
    Single seat unit, innit. If you have difficulty fitting it, Gyp will
    pop round and sort you out with his unfeasibly large tool ...
    Nice to have you back, Mike.
    You are MIB#20, old boy.

    DFC...doesn't fit "drive like you stole it".

    Anyway, I've been told I'm not allowed to take riding tips from you

    Impressed. I am.

    Did a similar thing with the RR myself. Funny how the difference in
    price between second hand and brand new seems worth it, especially when
    you convince yourself that someone who buys a sports bike is bound to
    thrash it to within an inch of it's life.

    Wahey! Good, ain't they?
    No need. Just forget to fasten the pillion pad down and he'll
    literally lose it in no time. It should come with the plastic cover
    bit to replace it.

    Arh well. The Health and safety costs went through the roof, and the
    bank pulled out...Fuckers.

    So we'd sold the house moved and then got shafted; nice.

    Some retail therapy has ensued, and the gixer pretty much wraps it up.

    I'll be taking it easy for a while, as it's been some time.

    It took about 30 mins to decide it was with while, buying new.
