I sold my Yamaha Tracer 9 back in 2019 and thought that was my biking days over, but I'm getting the urge to get another, not sure its the best idea at 62, but life is for living :shock:

I had an RD350 complete hooligan of a bike. MT10 is a beast how some reckon its ugly I don't know, Speed triples are the business and the Aprilia Tuono is probably the best of the naked's, I've ridden an MT10 not sure I could live with it every time I fancy a jaunt though got to be switched on 100%, really fancy the BMW S1000r more forgiving and has got everything you need. not to sure on the KTM 1290 to be honest I'm an inline 4 or a triple fan, not really a fan of the twins.

Oi Boon, I've got a nice little 19 plate Husky 250 enduro bike you can buy off me. Done less than 40 hours as well. Get up the mountain on it, that'll get you super fit as well.

It's Mr Boon to you, nah been there done that still got the aches as well, plus a repaired dislocated shoulder after coming off on a 450 husky, never again even though it was my fault for being reckless.

I bought it when it was two months old, and haven't been out on it for 3 years :lol: Good fun, but it takes it out of you, and not to mention the injuries that go with it!

Yea I bought a van when i bought the bike as well. I haven't got a licence to drive it on the road, and I don't fancy getting a licence either, because I'll end up buying an R1 or a CBR and be brown bread within a couple of months.

You're in charge of your right hand mush, go and do a few bike courses get an A2 license and a nice Honda 500 then gradually build your experience up, then do the A1 licence [full power], then do a couple of Bikesafe courses, its a cracking day on a bikesafe course.
I've had licence since god was eating rusks, but you can never do without a few courses, I did my advance licence yrs ago, but haven't kept it up, think its got to be updated every 3 to 5 yrs.
But I've gone long spells without a bike, so I find courses valuable.
