    Already out for delivery from Gretna unfortunately, you might be able to hold the van up along the M74 around the Lockerbie area if you're quick

    Effort, I've got to be in Woburn Sands for 11 anyway got an appointment to test ride a bike

    Anything exciting?

    Triumph Bobber, should be amusing last rode properly a few years back when I borrowed a friends R6 for a week. Suitably attired today boots, kevlar jeans and a leather jacket. Borrowing a lid from them, guy I know from theres coming out with me on a Scrambler so should prove amusing, been debating a bike for a while so just trying a few different styles. Apparently the tanks tiny though.

    sounds cool - quick enought to be a laugh without losing your licence, shiiyt enough handling so you can have a laugh at low speed, decent brakes.

    what you really want is a CR500 with supermoto wheels. now thats proper.

    #proper


    Pfft no, back from test ride, quite liked it, but a single two pot front disc is a bit rubbish, upgrade kits are about so may be needed. Definitely a comfy cruiser once I got the seat where I needed it.

    CR500 is a bit yobbish for me, I've had speedy(ish) bikes an nearly deaded myself so something a bit more sedate. Plus its bloody cool. They had a mock up of the new Rocket 3 in there, basically a bigger version of what I rode with a 2.5L 3 cylinder lump, looks daft!

    Go on - what sort of car envy?

    Afternoon, busy day dealing with sales idiots who can't take no for an answer so have set the heavy mob on them. The pedal home might be quite theraputic.

    Spent a weekend with the chainsaw getting it like that, the neighbour took half as we shared the cost of the FC scavenger license. Need to do some more really...

    The bike is excellent so far, all I've done is set up the rear sag and ridden it up the forest road and back though. Might head over to Ae in a minute, I'll brave the storm for this!

    just out of interest, wrazy gearing does the sweet ride have? that cassette looks massive.

    #biggerthanafatman'shead

    It's the 'new' Sram 12 speed 10-50, great if you're weak like me and want to conserve energy on the climbs between stages!

    I say 'new', it was released in 2016 but it's the most up to date bike I've ever had

    It's ex-demo. The OH would have left me if I'd spent £6500 on a properly new one. Seems in remarkable condition

    Jesucristo it's dull. Very grey. Very biblical rain expected. Seems to be just holding back before the deluge.

    Sticks, Bistro, coffee etc, despite the above. No where near the M74 unfortunately. Never held up a Fedex van before, could have been fun whilst inexplicable to the driver.

    Laters.

    I don't know about car envy but I envy the customers at this garage.
