    Blue is the fastest...honest guv

    Just thought I'd post a few piccies of my new bike.
    Picked it up on the 9th, rode it home two miles from SLM and did a 45mile stint on the Sunday before heading off on holls for two weeks.
    The longest holiday of my life.

    Couldn't wait to get home and have another go. At the moment I'm still running in the engine and if it's anything like the demo bike, I cannot wait!!! A lovely bike to ride and allot smaller than the 1150 GSA which for some one of my stature has come as a big bonus.

    Total milage after three weeks ownership = 250. Work is very busy at the moment.........

    Nice mate - very nice indeed - but it is not orange ?????

    I don't know how you made it through a two week holiday , with a new bike (with 47 miles !!!! on it) at home in the shed ???????? that would have killed me!!

    I am off to Tenerife on monday for two weeks and the thought of leaving Katee in the shed for two weeks is almost too much to handle.
    2011 Triumph Tiger 800 - "Black Pussy" - MMMM Nice !!!
    2000 Suzuki DRZ400S - "Ol' Yella" - very bright
    2011 Peugeot V-Clic 50cc - "Scoot" - It's my wife's, an enjoyable ride.

    I have a house , but I can't guarantee it's safe !!

    Tasty bike faantjie! must be hard to have so little time to ride - though that is happening to me at the moment too but at least mine isn't brand new and begging to be ridden thousands of miles in case it or I forget how
    RD07a, reg in 2001, Black, heated grips, short screen, Scottoiler, Givi top box and panniers, DataTag, full Riky Cross crash bars, Baglux tank cover, Facet pump, mostly 200 miles to reserve and presently a lot happier since being loved up at Chad's hospital for sick ATs!

    What you really need is a nice long steady ride to break the beast in properly, say about 860 miles or so.

    What are you doing on 21st June dude?!

    Nice bike mate.

    All these new bikes on here are 'doin ma heed in'. Found myself looking through the window of the local KTM dealer on the way home from work at 1 o'clock this morning...again !.

    That cheap finance they're offering does little to help !.

    Don't (whatever you do!!!) take a test ride on one !!!!

    They are rubbish - everybody who tests one, hates them - nobody around here would ever buy one.

    But the orange glow at 1am must be cool !! do you open the letter box to smell the Austrian gorgeousness ????

    I took that too far there , didn't I ???
