    Hi,

    Placed the order for a new Speed Triple R rim Matt Grey, going to wait to get the bike with the new reg in March.

    Currently own a gen 2 Tuono in black/silver. Lovely bike but slow riding in traffic is a pain.

    Hopefully the 4 weeks or so will fly by, and its arrival will be blessed with slightly drier and warmer weather.

    Thanks for the warm welcome.

    Need also to shop for a few things, paddock stand/s and bike pyjamas!
    The Abba stand looks popular, and possibly easier to fit on your own, though I've been fine with the Tuono and regular paddock stands.

    Pickup up my Speed at midday, weather Gods were on my side and the wet start changed to a sunny afternoon, so couldn't resist a nice run from Hastings, to Dymchurch, Folkestone, Canterbury then Tenterton and home.
    How bizarre to end up doing 100.0 miles on my first ride!

    Very nice, enjoy your new bike. We road the last 10 miles back home in a hailstorm :-(
