    I've had the Hayabusa almost a year, so it's time for a change [emoji1].
    I've put a deposit on a Ducati 1098 Streetfighter.
    Should pick her up next Saturday.
    I only a few crap photos from the shop at the moment.

    I'll be riding down next Saturday to do the deal. Couple of hours each way, so I should get the hang of it by the time I get home. I'm putting the Busa back to standard during the week for the trade in. It will be a quiet ride down with the stock exhausts on the Busa!

    Sounds like a plan.
    I hope to get there around 9.30, but I will let you know closer to the time.

    That's very true.
    Had my first quick ride today. It's mental!
    Hope to get out over the weekend, weather permitting, and report back on the experience.

    Please, please don't even consider putting your knee down. There'll be bits of titanium all over Hampshire.
