Thanks for putting EoSM together this year, Loz. Thanks to Mu and the rest of the team at the Black Horse, the food was very, very good and represented excellent value for money. Thanks to Monz for the sit on his Gixxer, it's a shame that I couldn't even fit on it, so my dreams of ever owning one are shattered. TOG's Trophy, dwb's V-Strom and Andy's(? Stephs other half) CBR1000 are contenders, though. RichardA's(? Sorry, I can't remember your handle) Divvy Nine looked quite fun, but I'd never get away with a screen that low. Thanks everyone for letting me have sit and play with your equipment. Thanks for allowing me to ride the CBR1000, it was great fun. I had a go on WC's CBRat1000 @ BoSM but that was only a few weeks after passing my test and I don't feel that I was all that hooked on bikes back then. Now I appreciate how fun it can be, and have a better understanding of how to use and deliver all of that power. An old CBR1000 may be on the cards for me over the next year or two, even though it may be a bit small. If cash is more fluid then I may consider a V-Strom. There's something about dwb's V-Strom that made it feel just right.
