Bike changes

The garage here is now hosting just one MC. Both the big bikes have been sold. Clare's SV 1000S went first to a "local" guy, and then a few days later I sold my Aprilia to a German guy.
It was the right thing to do. We haven't really used the bikes at all since last Easter, and to keep them just for the sake of having a big bike any longer would just have been stubborn.

Clare have ordered a Suzuki DR-Z 400 SM -08 that we will pickup tomorrow, Saturday. Me, I will keep my DR-Z. So that is what we will be riding in the foreseeable future. Great fun, and more suitable for the roads around here.

Seem like I am carrying on downsizing my bikes here. It's probably spelt AGE. ;-) From the Hayabusa, to the slightly slower Aprilia and now to "only" a 400 cc supermoto. Or in the terms of top speed: From 200 mph to 175 mph to 100 mph... OK, the theoretical top speed of the DR-Z is calculated to 117 mph, but I doubt I dare to try that out. 105 on the speedo is fast enough on that little bike.
