To return to biking.
It's been two years since my accident, and whilst I'm healed and fine and have been for ages, I've not got back on a bike due to the fact I've been working in London and didn't fancy the insane 30 mile commute to and from any more.
But I've got a new job now, one that's 10 miles from my house, in the countryside. Wife has OK'd a new bike. Still unsure if I really want to be dealing with tractors, muck, oil, potholes, stones, morons but I'm definitely tempted.
But what bike to get? I like unusual bikes, stuff that's a bit rarer than the SV, Fazer, Er6 etc.
I fancy another twin, maybe 400-800cc, fun but not balls-out insane (I'm a 2x daddy now), easy to work on, decent MPG, easy to get spares.
Was thinking about Ducati Monster, KTM 690 Duke (bit nutty), Triumph Street Triple...
Budget only about £2k though.
