Nah ya wrong, I'm not a doctor and never have been, but I am pedantic when it comes to my bikes.        Oh!!! and you mention retirement.                 Three months !!! and counting. :banana:

Gone and done it  :banana:
Saw the bike at the stealer today.
Deposit down, mine part x and collect on Sat afternoon.
Seemed to make perfect sense as it has 2800 miles on it and only 500 quid more than the one with 5500 miles and no bubbling paint. :clap:


Cheers guys,

Sharpy

Back in the club  :biker3:
Picked up the GTR this afternoon and had a fantastic ride back home.
Memories of riding my last GTR along the coastal roads of South Australia came flooding back.
I'd forgotten how solid and surefooted the GTR felt and rode with far more confidence than I ever had in my Z1000.
The Z1000 felt so much less positive and less comfortable, however, I appreciate it's like comparing chalk with cheese.
Big bonus is that the new bike only has 2280 miles on. Thought I had done well with the advertised 2800 miles, must have been a typo.
Nearly didn't get the Z1000 to the dealers to trade in as some Mondeo driving muppet decided that he would bully me coming off a roundabout and was about a foot off my rear wheel. When I waved him off he thought it was an even better idea to overtake me, come along side and then steer his car at me.
I thought it was equally as good an idea to follow him and when he stopped to enter a car park, pull alongside him.
He thought that it was a good idea to get out of his car, puff out his chest and shout "you got a problem?"
When I got off my bike and he saw I was 6' 2" I could tell that he was beginning to question his previously thought of good ideas. When I walked up to him and shoved my warrant card under his nose I could see that he had suddenly concluded that his good ideas had got him in a tight spot. He made up some lame excuse that the sun had been in his eyes and that's why he was hanging off my back tyre. He couldn't quite come up with an excuse for coming alongside me and driving his car at me. I gave him some clear advice about his bullying driving style and watched him retreat back into his salesman's saloon.
Sorry about the above rant but needed to vent.
Will post pics of new beast tomorrow after the wife has cleaned and polished it !
Regards,
Sharpy
