Greetings oh smelly one!
Seriously, I'm a 50 yr old back into bikes after 20 years away. Bought an '03 VTR1000 and loved the V-twin (had a Guzzi in the 80s), but not the naff (check out a Brit lexicon for that one) suspension. Had my sights on ST4 Dukes and rode one, but unless I went up to the 996 ST4S the Honda had more grunt, if not more class. Anyway, there's an end to this story...I got tempted by the 955 and newer Sprints and fell for a great deal on runout 06 Sprints.
Have done 900 miles in 6 weeks and yesterday did an all day refresher training course. I just love the bike and managed to scrape both feet during the day, so my cornering confidence has been restored fairly well.
These Sprints are the best and I just enjoy the great lifestyle again and agree that this RAT site is tops, for humour (humor), advice and cameraderie.
Safe riding and watch your back - I have the same problem, but no wank in the muscles!!
Dave
