I've just got home after taking my SP4 for its MOT. I took the long way home too, despite the cold, just to savour the ride. Now for the last couple of months I've been riding my 888 Strada - a bike not lacking in character/charisma by any means - but this bike is just something else! Comparisons with the Strada, or anything else I've ridden, are completely meaningless. Character just oooozes from this bike! So much so that it feels almost alive. To me, character is measured entirely by the senses. It's not measurable by reason - or by the stopwatch. How a bike stirs the emotions, and stimulates the senses of sight, sound and feel is everything - and this bike prods all of the senses with a bl**dy great stick! It's like nothing else. Every ride just leaves me buzzing. Boy, what else can I say? Priceless. [Edited on 20-11-2004 by weeveetwin] |
