Now i,ve had Black, yhere aint no going back!

I just had to kick myself up the Ass and go modern. Still got the t595 shaped trumpet, but when i saw this in black , just needed a good clean, a GSXR 750 K6 , with supercorsas and an Akropovic, Renthal bars . Piazzo levers all for well under £3 and half grand....well i had to have it. spur of moment.

 

Now i cant get off it! And the rush is just fab.

 

Born happy again!!!

much as i like "owning" the triumph, it just left me flat. dunno why. This has made me feel a new lease of life again like my zx7r did...but even more!

 

No more feeling glum at bike meets or thinking im on the wrong bike. THIS is the bollox...WHO needs any more fer the money!

 

Chuffed and will be out tmor cold hands or what:biggrin:
