    Hey, nice to see you back. Are you both fit and well now?

    Great looking bike, how do you think it compares to your last one? Btw, i'm assuming you didn't buy back the salvage?

    That'll be sooooooo much faster than the HRC so take it easy until you're used to the extra power that the black paint gives you ;)

    Guys I have noticed an increase in power the black paint provides. I especially like the 'stealth bomber' mode where you can fly undetected by radar.

    Seriously - it's nice to be on a bike again.

    No mate. Strangely the insurance co were dead against it. They just made it impossible to repair so it cost them twice as much to give me a new one. My thanks to Arthur for advice and support. He really is a very helpful gent!

    We are good thanks. I just replied to Lambchops the insurance co weren't keen on a repair and they don't allow buy backs even after it's been declared a write off. Odd!

    It's very similar to the 2010 and having just ridden it around in the wet hard to tell any major difference. The engine is very smooth and pulls well. I won't have a direct comparison until I use the exhaust and power commander from my old one.

    I've been off before, it still hurts! I'm taking it easy for a bit and bonding with the new bike. See you when it warms up a bit

    She's okay thanks mate. She hasn't been on the new one yet because:

    It's still cold out
    She needs a new helmet after the spill

    She will get back on though.
