    Just bought My First Alp

    Hi ALL,

    I have just bought my first ALP, a 2003 Black one, I am just getting back into biking, I have yet to pass my DAS, I saw the bike and just could resist buying it (well swapped it for the wifes car ). Its parked at home and i just cant wait to get out on it. will post some pics of it if anyone wants to see it.
    Its got a top box and comes with heated grips, ideal for this Scottish weather.
    Cheers for know will keep you posted on my test, away toget one booked on Monday

    Clint

    Good to have you aboard: it's a cracking bike, if not quite what your wife expected on arriving home!!!
