    After borrowing a Street Cup and loving its smooth fluency of riding but lacking the outright performance that I am used to from a 600cc Rice Rocket, I've seen the light and as of earlier this week have become a very, very happy Thruxton R owner. What a fabulous machine to ride - and what a beautiful piece of mechanical art just to absorb. Having come round from "It looks a bit retro sci-fi, Dad" to "It looks quite cool actually and I like what it sounds like", someone is also continually asking when the dual seat and pillion pegs will arrive...

    When I'm not out riding it, looking at it - and by the look of things, needing to polish it - I'll pop in here!
