Hey Andy, I hope so too! How is the MT10?
Brilliant mate! Really enjoying it, it's exactly what I wanted form a bike, done a few mods, it now sounds awesome!
Will make a great little sports tourer.....although it's pants on fuel, but hey ho!
Liking the triple black! Will good with the R in the garage!

Had a top day. A few mates rode over to help me collect a new MY2017 Triple Black GS today, which I promptly rode 180miles to empty it's first tank! It's almost a year since the last one was destroyed in a head on RTA. Great to be back on the horse. The new 2017 GS has a revised gearbox and shaft damper, and it's far better than before.

Bike looks great SP, love the un-posed naturalistic photo!

Yeah, it's not the most creative, eh! But when your mate goes out of his way and rode 220 miles - purely as a surprise visit - and to help and give support in the collection, it deserved at least one pic.

Good to hear and she's looking better than standard! First one I've seen that doesn't actually look like an MT10!

That looks stunning, the side stand is very close to the grill cover ...

Hi Mate - noticed you had a Multi and now have the MT10 – I currently have a 2014 Multi but was looking at the MT10 as the next bike its either that or the new Multi. How do you think they compare?

And here she is after 8 hours fettling last night to set her up for daily duty and touring.

It doesn't really show here, but the sipes on my front PR4 have started to curl backwards after almost an hour of three-figure corners in Spain at 30C. Oh well... it's due a replacement anyway.

I can never remember if that means too much or too little rebound.

Decided to celebrate Mrs Ps birthday by doing this Cotswolds route over the weekend that, took in Northants, Oxs, Warcks, Gloucs, Worcs and Herefordshire, fantastic & quiet roads , very few speed cameras, fantastic scenery and some great food.

After 8 hours, Mrs P was done in at the end and her concentration was shot, our overnight stay was much needed.



















After leaving this morning, I headed over to the Sand and Motorcycles event in Leighton Buzzard , some lovely old bikes on show, my Dad made it along on his Bantam, which is now running sweetly after a carb strip or three..











Funky Puch!




Pink DT50...only £600 !

I had a bit of a nightmare with the multi I had, loved riding it....but it was forever having to need warranty work, the mt10 is obviously more naked with less wind protection but the engine is to die for!, so much power everywhere and has real character , I've got a comfort seat and small screen, I can easily do the same mileage as I did on the multi, I have a rack for roll bags and givi tank bag which is all I need for luggage , and it's 5k cheaper than my multi was 3 years ago .
Everyone to the own, but for me it's exactly what I want from a bike, try one out, b mode is mad!

Looks good does that. Only got 5 months to wait until mine arrives. Bah!

Cleaned up the GSXR and sadly returned it all back to stock for sale.

I heard Vines were letting these go *very* cheaply. You should have said, I'd have come out for a 180 mile bimble on Saturday.

Good question mate. Something 2-3k that my neck and back can tolerate , considering a Honda Firestorm, Fazer 1000 or maybe even going back to a 600 , ill buy on condition first and foremost. I don't mind waiting & putting the miles in to view the right bike.
