He probably turned up before the staff today [SMILING FACE WITH OPEN MOUTH AND SMILING EYES]

I reckon he is taking it the long way home.

The very very very long way home

I hope he is. It's pretty nice weather over here cold but dry so hope he's enjoying it!

He's probably still in the carpark with the sidestand down wondering why it won't start

At least it isn't like a Suzuki where you have to have the clutch in to start it.

Triumphs are the same.

Facebook has a photo of him stood looking nervously excited next to his new bike.

you do on the Daytona 600 too. I hadn't started it in about a year and tried, wouldn't start. Checked the whole electrical system, pulled the starter switch apart and cleaned it (known problem) tested the relay. Then on the wiring diagram saw the clutch switch... oh THAT'S right!

I always look like that!

Have you hit the "green zone" yet?

It really comes alive when you're hitting that area! I remember when no first used mine I thought it's OK nothing special (below the green zone), I then came off a roundabout and belted it...Wow I thought, this is the dogs dooglies!! It was surprising how different it was. It felt like I was going warp speed!!

The power just keeps increasing doesn't it... Like i've said before, I thought I made a massive mistake buying mine once I got it home, but when the weather got better and I gave it a thrashing (up to 12k before I wimped out) I was astounded by it !!!

WOOOOOT theres nothing better than new bike day

Kids bath time, just got to get 5 of them to bed. Sarah is out with her sister and I've inherited another one. (Niece)

Get them in the garage polishing the new ride. They could be your pit crew

Cracking day and really chuffed with the bike, need to sort the suspension out, new can and a tail tidy though. Not sure about the front end yet, brakes lovely but feels a bit weird/vague tipping in. Hard to say yet as I've not ridden a bike for nearly two years and only done about 60 miss daisy miles today.

It's in mint condition for a 6 year old bike, clearly been looked after. The headers look like they've never got wet, and there's. Not a corroded bolt on it.

Feel like a pig in sh!t
I found the green zone and everything went all Buck Rodgers!
