Currently 4 and a bit years in to ownership, and following a nudge on the forum from Dave P, I've finally got around to starting my S50 ownership journal...
A bit of background I guess... I first saw an MC parked up in at Harewood House, near Leeds, back in '99. I stood, drooling at it with my wife, despite not knowing that much about the model, but fell for the crazy lines instantly. Fortunately, so did my wife so no hurdle to overcome there
It wasn't until 2010 that it became feasible (sportsbikes/finance/blah blah blah) but following a redundancy payout, and then finding another job, I was faced with a decision to either payoff a chunk of the mortgage or buy the car I'd wanted for years. Yup... heart won!
After a few viewings and test drives, I eventually decided on an MC located up in Scotland and drove it back home to Yorkshire through ice and snow - a great experience in the first powerful RWD I'd ever driven.

Full story to follow. Just wanted to commit to getting a journal started.
