Default Well I got bored looking for another motor.......

Having owned a few impreza's now, looking for something I've not had at a good price/bargain has resulted in buying something else to have a bit of fun on

Possibly still looking for a nicely modified Spec C, decent powered classic RA, or a singing and dancing Newage ideally at 550/450+. I had around 12k, but looking around nothing floated my boat, and to be honest I never keep cars long, so it would probably end up being an impulse purchase with the TOTB in mind. So that said I might just have this year out and start a project over the winter and try and enjoy watching it develop, hmmmm options options.....

Current fun, can you tell what bike it is yet?:

Front tyres on wrong way round.

But very nice bike in a good colour combo, not a fan of all this rainbow stuff

Nice bike, very clean. You'll have fun with that over the summer.

I sold my P1 last week and can't shake the thought that there's now room in the garage for a Ducati Diavel...

Are they? They look right to me

I'm no fan of the obscene colours either, I like bright loud solid colours, but some graphics on bikes these days are OTT. I find the GSXR's are guilty of this, although some of the solid black gizzers look nice.

I know, I too have lost friends to bike accidents, I don't intend on taking a bike to the limits, or taking risk, and I like to think I'm fairly observant.

I think it's a good bike provided you ride it carefully.

Congratulations on buying something nice for yourself.

Front tyre looks to be on the wrong way round to me as well. Get it checked before you ride it in the wet

Nice looking machine though.

As long as you didn't involuntarily cycle into the opposite direction due to that, I believe it was ok.
