2nd bike

[Martin#30]

Tapps, congrats on the new XJR. Looks lovely.

I am lucky enough to have always had a second bike (mine is a ZX10R currently) that I can use instead of the GTR if wanted. I have to say though, I rarely ever use it - the GTR is just too good a bike to cope with the compromises (rucksack, getting soaked, constant risk of jail time etc) that commuting on the 10R involves. I am not going to bother MOT'ing, taxing or insuring it anymore and leave it as the trackbike.

Saying that though, 99% of my riding is just my 102 mile daily commute. I (almost) never go out riding socially at weekends. Perhaps if I did, a second bike would be used more.

Martin.
