It is important to me though there is more to it than that, I wanted the B3 Brutale based on riding the IL4 version, I've not ridden a naked that felt as 'good' including the (magazine rated) better MT09sp or the triumph street R. It just happens that it is also a fairly exclusive brand. If that mak...

Beautiful looking!

Just to add to the lockdown boring purchases made.. I now Headrush! How are you finding the headrush? My pedal obsession got out of hand a few years ago,I think I've 3 boards and a bunch of allsorts boutique schitt. :lol: I love it!

My first ride on a Brutale was a 4 cyl 989r tbh I was pretty sold on them at that point. That was between owning my 04 RSVR and 1100 Monster evo.

Cheap electric guitars. They should be terrible but they're surprisingly ok. I assembled one, as a kit, over Christmas really to see how awful it might be and because the length of the Christmas break can be well boring ;) Yeah the electronics are at the cheap end but I was expecting real out-of-th...

Crikey!

Erm... well, when my mate bought his MT09SP which would’ve been between lockdown 1 and 2!?

Walking into any workshop ...

I’ll add more to this later. Just out walking.

I've been slightly swayed by some of the discussions on here suggesting that you should buy a bike that moves your soul, not just you arse. I mean I always buy bikes that I think will have a bit of magic but I also consider reliability, parts availability etc. So Japanese, Triumph and even Aprilia....

Last time I asked for advice I bought a John Ryan. Now added a plywood base over the sprung slats.

Alternatively, buy one with a free trial, try it send it back, try another etc

Seems all the neighbours who were notified and some who weren't have objected lol.

I guess we'll see what the borough council planning have to say.

It is pretty!
