Use it or sell it. Hopefully use the bike a lot more, but it not then it is time to move on.

Italian V-Twin, best naked bike in terms of character IMHO.

Not for the faint hearted, but huge grin factor.

Unfaired to keep the speeds sensible.

Perfect bike for the experienced biker.

And not over festooned with carbon ;)

I'll hopefully be doing another Euro trip at some point, few days in Holland with a pal to visit some of his family and then onwards into Germany again, this time focusing on the Nurburgring and touring around that region.

Not 100% on dates but hopefully it'll be May onwards to save any snowy weather like last year :oops

Got most of the year sown up !

Blackbird is away being painted (again!) and thats due back in April but have got trips planned on the Tracer in the meantime, across to the West Coast more often and then also up north to Conon Bridge sometime to suss out the base for this year McBASH.

We need to get across to the West more often on either bike.

Then big trip down to Cotswolds for a week on the Blacky and another week seeing some sights on the way back up.

Defo need more miles this year !
