Had 2 sets of BT021's and a set of BT023's on the Triumph. I did a lot of commuting was my reasoning, but by the third set I was getting pretty confident on the bike and they were a bit lacking. If I was purely using the bike for sport riding they wouldn't be my tyre of choice. They were pretty good in the wet though.

The kind of person you want to buy a used bike off!

They should be fine for a few months of driving Miss Daisy then

Oh chuffing yes!

Little dealer in Nottingham, I'd narrowed it down to two bikes. One was an 09 red 675 with 6k on the clocks and this one, I liked them both and both in similar condition but at the end of negotiations the Triumph was a grand more than the ZX6

Which reminds me, can you help me set up the suspension? Free tea and a biscuit (Gluten free) in it for you, cake if you do a good job.

Refresher CBT?

Probably not a bad idea, hopefully it's just like riding a bike!

I'll take the cake then Monty

No problem at all mate.

Nice one Monty

I'm guessing youll be giving away all the bling on the Daytona now you've replaced it

No, I've decided to mount the Daytona on the wall in the study

Either would have been the best choice....good to see you back on two wheels again. The bike looks great.

I see the bike already has braided lines on, good mod that it.

I would get some clear protector film as your boots may rub against the swingarm.

FECKING EXCITED NOW, 20 HOURS TO GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bloody hope I can remember how to ride a bike, the last one I rode was a speedway bike and remember how well that went
