Neil I can relate to that, but the S10 attraction is SO strong for me

Picked it up on sat afternoon ,and had a quick 110m ride round , out on Sunday for a blast around Lincolnshire  lots of twisty muddy roads , one big 10min spell of rain , well so far am more than pleased with my purchase , it's very well balanced , all light controls , picks up in 5th and 6th gear in a instance , and has you going along at speeds that feel steady untill you look at the speedo , bumpy roads are now smooth , the ability to avoid mud and change direction are brilliant , down to the skinny wheels and tyres , the more I ride it the more I am gelling with it , just got to keep away from the accessories list , roll on next spring , any sunny days til then I will use it , gave the gtr a good polish and now away untill next year ,
