    ok well I have agreed on a deal with the dealer, will either pick up tomorrow or Thursday. A slight nervousness has just come over me, ...what the hell have I just done. :-) Well as they say in the classics, this should be interesting.....

    And as a regular 4 wheel visitor to Tas, I am hoping at some point to take my future R3 for a trip down there. I love Tas and would move there in a flash if I could.

Also every time I put my feet down I kept banging my calf. I...

    Thanks Tomcat, yep the GS is a great commuter. However I will only keep one bike, as I pretty much only ride Monday to Friday until the bubs are bit older. While I love the GS I loved the Roadster even better was just a hoot. I am 6'2" and felt right at home on it. And I figure what the heck...

    Hi All So I went for a ride on a 2010 roadster the other day...... and well lets just say I am now deciding between two second hand ones. I live in Sydney and ride everyday as I commute to work and the family runs one car. While I suspect the roadster might be a bit of a handful in daily...
