The main concern I have at the moment is what new bike I want to get for my birthday.

It's either replace the firestorm with something to use everyday but due to my wrist it would have to be something along the lines of a tiger or the new KTM Smt. But I am toying with the idea of having a 'sunday' bike that can sit in the garage and stay clean and only get used on sunny days. Something such as the new triumph thumderbird, but with changing the headlight for twin ones

Did my CBT about 4 yrs ago now and have pretty much ridden every day since.
Ive never had the nicest bike or done the most miles (or owned my own house
) but that doesnt matter, i just f*cking love riding my bike and thats all there is to it!

I can afford to rent too.
All I do, is put my house on the rental market, wait for a tenant, and use his or her rent to pay the rental costs of the place I move too.
I pay nothing .

Even if I decide not to rent my house out, I can still rent using my own income, but the great thing is, I have the choice not too
