I had a good look at yours at Nelly's once, I must admit it pushed all the right buttons ... I know I could have ridden it at Cadwell on the track days but I think I was better off letting you take it grass tracking between the mountain and Hall Bends right in front of everyone

I didn't know whether to go around you or wait to clean up the mess! I'm glad you keep it all together, too pretty a machine to hit that wall.

As usual for me, my heart says SP and my head says strada ... I went with my head for the 996, and my heart for the 998R ... who knows which way I'll go next time - IF I do buy a 888 anyway.

There's a certain attraction to get a 748R/SPS and go and do the MRO Thunderbikes championship ...

But as I said, I'm beyond poor at the moment ... so you guys are giving me 'winter-dreaming' fodder thank you.
