Glad i'm not the only one who wants a Grom!

Starting a new job next month so might treat myself to a second hand one after a few months. £5 for 180 odd miles? Can't argue with that!

Though, I remember on my CBT i thought a 125 was plenty fast enough... I expect after riding a R6 for the past month would make me have a different opinion
 
It's looking pretty good here at the minute and I need petrol, seems like a sign to take it out at lunch :D

I use to open the throttle up as I was going out, I had a tiny slide. When I did that with the SV650 the sldie was a bit longer, it didn't feel scary. But my dad told me it looked like I was about to crash. :p I'm use to my back sliding, as the stock tyres on Duke were like plastic, a bit of rain and you were sliding on roundabouts. :D
 
Dug my bike out the mud & stuck it out front & cleaned my tyres with a Kitchen knife & a Kitchen scrubbing brush. :p
Booked in for a new front tyre this afternoon & the Sun has come out so all in all a damn good day. :cool:

Have you looked at getting a new one? Just a quick glance over Autotrader and a year old Grom is only a few hundred £ less than brand new.

Really depends why you're looking at something new? Do you want biking to be cheap? Do you want another bike to go alongside your R6 for a bit of a change/fun?

It's still cold in the mornings, I had my heated ones plugged in today went out at lunch time in my summer gloves though and it is indeed perfect riding weather.

Yeah brand new their not much more but the second ones often have a nice Akrapovic can on. Mostly want one alongside my R6 as a bit of fun and something I don't care about getting wet when outside.

I want to make my current PC smaller (Corsair 800Ds are far too big) but that means buying a new motherboard, processor and ram... and probably PSU.

Yeah it was cold this morning, freezing fog - walking to the gym at lunch it was nice, but could still do with being another 10 degrees or so!

With the light winds Saturday I may have to find a nice place do some flybys with my new recorder :D
