I've currently got a Sinnis Apache SM125 for test so decided to go out and get an arty shot the other night.

Pleased with how this turned out considering I just used my phone!

Cheers.

Hopefully he will have an interest unlike his father (my son).

Many things skip a generation, making it to the next one.

Well I wasn't planning on getting another bike so soon, but a nice bike popped up at the right price and my 'man maths' did the rest.

Got it home yesterday but not had a chance to ride it yet. One owner from new and apart from needing a good clean and putting back closer to standard it seems like a good buy.

I am slightly nervous about finding out how the voltmeter, led running lights, extra indicator warning lights and heated grips have been wired in though wobble

It has certainly had the options book thrown at it, which to be honest is not really my sort of thing. The touring seat and heated grips will be staying though.

It may end up replacing the Bullet but I will keep them both for the time being.

Looks a bit like a Triumph..

Nice.

I think the horrid handguards would be going in the bin in about 5 minutes, otherwise that looks like a belting machine. Congrats and enjoy!

It's a handsome thing. There's a bit of A65 about the engine cover.

But if it was mine I would lose the screen, the rear carrier and whatever you call those horrible things on the handlebars.

After a ride through the Trough of Bowland, probably not long now before its tucked away for the winter.
Did ride it a bit last winter but its a PITA to keep all the finishes spot on.

I have just sorted out the tax and insurance so looking forward to taking it to work tomorrow!

I have had my Bullet 500 for 3 years and love that even though they get very mixed reviews. The new 650 twins have been very well received so can't wait to get out and see what all the fuss is about! I will be using it as my main commute transport so It will be interesting to see how it gets on.

Looks good

I love my Thruxton, but salt is a big no no with those engine cases. 260miles short of 3000miles this Year since lockdown. I was really hoping to get to the end of October but the last two weeks have been crap and the roads round my way are covered in Epic amounts of mud from the tractors, it’s fking Lethal in a car never mind on a bike.

They are a true thing of beauty.

A future classic for sure.

On my list to own one day.
