It is in all honesty probably the only bike I need.

Need and want are poles apart though Duke

Glad your enjoying it buddy

The other one may have to go anyway, its highly likely we will have to pay to run two houses for the next year so needs must.

Just saving time

Went for a spin..... Bloody weather has obviously got it in for me today, just going past Windsor Castle and the heavens opened....
Oh well home now, 311 miles on the clock, i should call them this week to get it booked in for the 1st service.

Took the Versys into work.

The rear shock didn't fall off so I count that as a win.

It was like autumn this morning on the ride in.

Very fresh at 5am today... Brrrr

Not me but Mrs C00kiemonster has actually gone out on my bike! Bit wierd as i'm not out with her, but this may be the first step to choosing a new bike! She will at least have a benchmark to compare to with mine.

I shall be pacing around until she returns

Hope she comes back with a few ideas.

If you want magazine tests of any particular bikes give me a shout and I will hunt through my back catalogue.

Just don’t let Maia get to it first.

Hopefully she'll get rid of those chicken strips of yours.

Mrs C has sellotaped the current Bike magazine back together

We could start with an R1M, BMW S1000R and Kwak H2SX

Is she back? have you now lost your bike

Well she's back and absolutely full of the joys of motorcycling

She loved it - got it to 170kmh (on one of the private roads) and could quite happily ride it again. It's quite a moment considering she was a die hard sportsbike fan.

She wants something she can put her feet flat down on (cant quite do that on the 765) but really enjoyed it and understood why i said it's a "naughty" bike.

Next stage is shortlist of bikes

I quite fancy one of these:

If I was going Monster I would go 797. The air cooled engine has much more character. The 821 and even the 1200 were a bit bland for my liking.

However if you can find a nice one the older 1100 is the best Monster. Air cooled again and iirc just below 100bhp so cheaper on insurance. Loads of grunt in the air cooled engine.
