    Hey, been off bikes for a year or so for a few reasons, lost a good friend and having young kids being the main reason. After losing a friend I sold my GSXR 1000 and bought a CRF 450 to slow things down and enjoy a bit of green laning. Which I did until it got stolen from my garden. My wife took pity and bought me a VFR800 for my 40th but we didn't gel it was just too ummm unexciting, very nice bike just not for me. So left bikes for a year, did some sailing but always pined on a Tuesday driving home from work watching all the bikes go to Poole Quay. Saturday went to my local Triumph dealer simply for a look round as it's fairly new and well I love looking around bike shops. Test rode a demo speed triple R and well, loved it so now waiting to pick it up hopefully on Saturday. :biggrin:
