Thanks Uncle Bob. After a change in management I had a disagreement with my new boss which ended in me telling him to stuff this job northwards up his south facing porthole, that was three yeas ago. So now I have plenty of time, with no mortgage and no kids I have petrol money.
Some days I want a lazy ride out with no stress and no dancing on the gear lever so pick the Suzuki or the Beemer. Some days I want to feel like a hero with quick gear changes and a bit of noise so pick the Speedtriple or the Monster. Some days I want to feel a bit different and be noticed so pick the MZ or the Monster. The Beemer and Suzuki are better two up and the Speedtriple and Monster are better one up with the MZ fitting in the middle of fitting both situations equally well. Some weeks I just take them out in turn, they all give me a smile and they all do some things better than others so it's nice to have a choice.
