Oh dear...

You know you're getting old when you start browsing the catalogue for one of these.



Am I on the slippery road to a mid-life crisis?

Shall I just kill myself now and be done with it?

My next bike will be either a Victory or a Harley.

I just want something that is comfortable (a sure fire sign of age), something that doesn't give me white finger due to buzzing the shit out of the bars, something with a screen I can hide behind, and something with a relaxed riding position.

The only problem is, some bastid has a Tiger Explorer at work so I could never follow suit and live it down.

My word, it appeals though!

Street triple.

Good man! I had a Harley at 21

[Dom1]

Would love to see you laning on that.

Street Triple?

I'm not sure I'd get the required wind protection from a nekkid.
Besides, Z800 > Street Triple. In my humble opinion of course! (Controversial, I know).

Ewan Boorman/Charlie McGregor, I ain't.

S1000XR is an odd looking bugger but after seeing the BVG review it looks like a whole lot of fun for a sit up road bike.

Dude, i was down at the Triumph dealer literally yesterday doing the 'what if's' over one of those Tiger XCxs.

I really like the look of them.

Trouble is, it'd have to be 'as well as'. Can't give up sports bike while I can still just about get on them, because one day I won't be able to and then that'll be that.

So I suspect this will likely await further physical deterioration or the lottery win.

However, my other thought process at the moment now I've started doing the 70 miles-a-day round trip commute to work (M1 hell followed by Central London hell) is getting a cheap commuter to save the expensive tyres, etc, on the Panigale.

Anyone got any views on the Kawasaki Versys?

Is it going to bore me sh!tless?

Get one. You will be surprised how much fun, these adventurer bikes can be.

Popped into Triumph Swanwick today. Somehow came out with a test ride of a tiger next Sunday.

Jokes on the salesman, there's no way I'm buying one.
