...my other bike's a green one from Hinckley...
...the story : a few weeks ago I sold my 1988 Mini Red Hot after being pain striking careful with it for the last 25 years...
...bought that little red thingy new in those late eighties, and loved it all those years...
...but for the last 16 years or so, the Mini only stood there...
...only doing a couple of miles each year...
...from MOT to MOT so to speak...
...and suddenly a few weeks backs I had 'her' up for sale, and within only a few days 'she' was gone...
...sold all the bits & pieces I had collected over the years ; and all the gone stuff leaving a gap in the garage...

...but..., I always had some feelings towards a Suzuki GSX1400...
...big bike, naked, old-skool...
...and when I threw that idea towards the family, my wife said : ’…you can do what you want, but I think it's an utterly stupid idea ; a third bike in the garage...’
...well…, maybe she's right...
...so, in order to check if she's right, I didn't bought a GSX1400...

...I bought a Roulette Green T595 Triple 995i instead...
...as some sort of compensation for the Mini perhaps...
...as in : still something British next to the Germans...


...after 25 years : out...
...and...

...in...


...coming Saturday I'll pick it up...
...hoping the weather stays dry...
