Bikers' Banter

Didn't cover enough miles this year, so plan to do the NC500 again in 23, without a pillion.

Might go and catch up with Roger too.

So that about the top and bottom of it.

I've already booked two riding holidays for next year. Devon and Wales. I also want to do more rallies and get back to my all day rides, if I can ever get that fit again, of course.
I'm still not really sure how reliable the Striple is going to be, compared with it's appalling reliability over the last four years, but, so far, it's behaved.
I'm waiting for a proper look at Triumph's new small capacity bike. I've read so many conflicting things about what it's likely to be that I've given up reading about it. I'll make up my own mind after a test ride. It may be the way to go if I get any feebler, but I'm not going there unless I have to.
I have lots of unfinished business with the Striple to enjoy first

Fell in love with this today.

Maybe next year

I liked the old V=strom. All too big for me, but they can't be bad. People buy a lot of them and they seem to hold their value quite well.
