Best ride of my life! I cannot explain the feeling of taking on these canyons in the middle of a crispy sunny day with virtually nobody else on the road. This will get addictive..
Not jealous at all! Great pics , what a way to spend the Xmas break.Edited by Justices on Tuesday 27th December 14:27

Wouldn't touch superbike factory with a barge-pole, heard some horrendous stories - one from a guy on here(?).
May nip to the Kingsley place on the way home from work one day. Sorry but I'm new to the biking world, me and my sister have been to superbike factory to sit on and have a feel of some bikes I fancy purchasing after eventually passing the mod 1/2. They seem quite nice and both of us will most probably purchase from therein the future via finance. They seem to have decent prices too. What's the issue with them? Is it a one off kind of issue?I've heard of three stories, one from a close friend, one from on here, and one of my own experience.
First one from a close friend was that of his BMW, it involved poor QA of the bikes - involved the chain coming off on the ride home after picking up the bike. Also, a number of other issues regarding things that were not checked and serviced - brakes and electrics. After-sales was equally poor by all accounts - refused to acknowledge that their service and QA department had made a mistake and missed something. He took it to a 2 man band service in trafford and had to chuck a few ton to fix it (mostly man hours). That was last year, or year before.
Second one on here, was engine failure, and something else. Was a black ZX6R - never heard the end of that story. That was this year.
Third one, my own experience - the bikes appeared to be somewhat man-handled, most have them appeared to have been dropped or sent down the road at some point. Scrapes etc. High miles etc. I was not enamoured with their customer service - they wanted to know my salary details and credit options before even entertaining me. That was last year.
The finance deals appear to be somewhat appealing to get people with low credit onto a bike - but the quality of the bikes appear to be ebay/gumtree buys/ex-track bikes.
However, saying that, they may have improved their game - i've not been down for a while.

I honestly thought my other half had no interest in bikes or anything that resides in the garage , I was mistaken, it seems she is well aware of my hobby as I got this for Christmas
Thats a first class gift! Would you tell her im going to get one too..Reminds me of the Fathers Day gift I got a few years back, my Mrs "stole" my camera and compiled this book of various and random bike related pics from over the years..
