2007? What's your plans?

For me:

It's my last year of racing - doing Minitwins on the 800ss, plus some Thunderbikes. I'm getting old and the level of expenditure is now wearing a bit thin so I've made the decision.
I might buy a new bike - either a 1098s or a 1000ss - the latter will get seriously tricked up.
My Triumph Sprint RS will get treated to a full suspension makeover.
I'll build another 800 up out of spares.
I'm gonna try to find time to go to the south of France and then over the Pyrenees on the Triumph.

I take it by 'new' you mean new to you in the case of the 1000SS Nigel-they have stopped making them I-Supersport's no longer listed-sad.

I have started mine, would be interesting to compare notes since you are way in front of me with your 800's.

That reminds me...I owe you a reply. Ask anything you want.

New can be new to me or NEW. There will still be new bikes in the dealers IMO so it might be worth trying to hunt on down - having thought about it a bit I think a 1098 will be OTT.
