Pun intended, eh?

I don't think the cops here would offer that choice.....

That´s a two-seater, right?

So will Lady Green ride with you or do you have finally reached that age where men do buy bikes to impress some young damsels....

Its a very nice bike. One of my friends has an older one I've been miles on the back of. I can't say that the pillion is particularly comfortable though. My bike is getting on a bit at the moment and giving a little trouble so I'm thinking of upgrading after university. There's a very nice second hand Ducati ST3 in a shop near me that I'm sorely tempted by, but I think it's just a bit too expensive.

I can only live in hope of a good summer, but the weather has been great for the last few days.....

As for size, it's about the most practical size; plenty of power, and reasonably economical to use.

Lady Green would give me a right earful if I didn't take her places on it!!

We're planning on Galway by bike for Easter, a nice spin to work out the cobwebs!!

I can't get over how much more nimble it is, compared to the Bros. LG seems to like the pillion saddle; but then again, she is probably still suffering from "post traumatic numb bum" after riding around on the tiny pillion saddle of the Bros. Should the PTNB wear off, I have found a place in France that will custom build a
more heavily cushioned saddle (see here!).

P.S. LOVE the deep throaty drone from a Ducati!!

I'm surprised its more nimble than the Bros, then again you've got about three times the power. My bike is pretty good on the handling front for the roads round here (I've a GPZ 500 at the moment), a little dab on the back brake and the back end nicely slides out into the corners. its happy running at 4000rpm but lacks power until 8000rpm+ which is too bloody fast unless you're in first or second all the time.
