Afternoon all...

Celery has more charisma than that

 

Don't worry, it's for a reason, I almost bought a black Thruxton but the guy never showed up when I wanted a second look, 2 days later Doris turned up on ebay, love at first sight and so so much better!! These matches are made in heaven! (Ps nothing against black bikes, I have a friend with one, but my blue is .......

 

Crispey, I'm in no rush. It actually made me think to hold off for a while and get some funds saved. Both bikes seemed really good deals, thats all.

 

Welcome to the forum - the right bike always turns up!

 

Steve you're right, it has. All will be revealed (fingers crossed) in around three weeks.

 

You don't know the half of it, HT. Most people pronounce it that way.

 

The wait is over, for those who are interested. Rode 'Lou' home yesterday, 2004 Speed Triple in Roulette Green, and apart from a low RPM stutter (bike has covered 2800 miles from new) I'm in love . Spent this morning fitting SP Engineering stubby chrome can with diabolus tip. Half the size and weight of the original.

 

That is truly a GEM Dave - beautiful !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Looks great that, can't believe the mileage!

 

Nice looking ride

 

Absolute cracker

 

Got it from a guy in Woolwich. Bike was off the road for five years before the last owner bought it.

 

Thanks guys, I'm really pleased with it. Chiari, I had seen the Roulette Green before but didn't recall it being pearlescent. Looks cool in sunlight.

 

Dave get a speed four, they are fantastic bike, in black of course.

 

Hi Peter. When my search started I had a short list and the Speed four was there, along with the Dayona and TT. I missed out on two crackers but didn't find a Speed that caught my eye TBH. Ended up with it's big brother though What part of the county are you in?
