  11. Dunno really El T, guess it depends what mood am in on the day, probs be thinking differently come Sunday when the sunshines out! Guess I've always associated the sports bike as a younger man's brash toy! Plus a few pals have opted for more upright kinda machines, don't get me wrong, I wouldn't walk away from biking! I've already acquired the Duc's replacement a triumph bonneville Steve McQueen edt. Sure it don't sound as loud or get the attention, but at the same time I ain't freakin the fuck out on it at every turn!

    And rightly or wrongly I've kinda associated a superbike, in a similair vein to a guy wearing a full fitba kit at the five asides, sock, shorts and all? ( if that makes sense ) +'am 6'2 14 stone and most recent sport bikes seem to have been designed with the borrowers" in mind! Am constantly getting the kids conversation at home and a can't be fucked squeezing into sidi boots and dainese leathers anymore, I spend longer getting ready than i do out!
    Hence the triumph! Belstaff jacket, gore tex jeans, open face helmet, aviators...Done! And looking damn good too, chilled out Ang comfortable. That said its a strange feeling when you've got the throttle buried, and your still asking a question? Is that it?

    No decisions made yet mind!!!!!!!

  12. You made it sound as though you're too old to have a sports bike at 30!

    FFS I'm 54 and love my sports bikes. Had the sit up and beg type when I was 17 to my mid 20's but since then I've had sports bikes, and I love 'em.

    And whilst I'm relatively fit I can't see me changing styles for the foreseeable future that's for sure :smile:
