    Just received this from the delivery driver!!! Due in... 12 hours.

    Reverting to the subject of the reg number, I thought I'd see if I could get something similar for the Bonnie. This one is B10 TNY, and the closest I could find - B12 TNY - was listed at £1.8k!

    I did find a T121 TNY... so near, but so far!

    I know, right?

    Thank you, and I'm sure very little sleep will occur!

    Three hours sleep :weary_face:

    Sadly. Bea's mum passed away on Monday (she'd been in a care home in Tenerife for years, and for many reasons it was something of a blessing). I'll therefore be in Tenerife from tomorrow until overnight on Saturday/Sunday, so any time with the bike will therefore have to wait until I'm back. It's also going to be raining all day today, which is a bit annoying as I timed the delivery for what the forecast at the time said was going to be a lovely day!

    @learningtofly Sure is a nice bike mate. Lots of chrome there to shine. And looks quite at home there in your new garage. Something to look forward to when you get the sad days over. Hope you get some sunshine to enjoy.

    Thanks matey - yes, a fair bit of chrome to keep shiny. Will probably have all the appropriate bits ceramic coated, actually.

    @learningtofly If you had it out what is your initial thoughts. It certainly looks good.

    I'm loving it, Joe. It's bloody powerful and far too much of a handful in Dynamic mode for now, so it's back in Road. Much tamer!

    I've now done my best to pin down the extras on the bike, although the number plate is valued on the basis of the B12 TNY that I found listed for sale. It may be a few quid out but it's not a bad result.

    My sympathy to Bea and you, Tony. It's always hard to say a final goodbye to someone you love even if circumstances render their passing as something of a blessing. :pensive:

    Your new bike truly is beautiful. :heart_eyes: I hope you thoroughly enjoy every minute with it!
