Early birthday present...

My 40th is approaching fast. I tried to convince the missus that I should have a Honda NC750. But she was having none of it. And to be fair for how much I use my bike, it doesn't make sense to fork out £2k to upgrade. Especially when the Forza is such a great bike.
So been deliberating for a while what to treat myself to. I've ended with a TomTom Rider 500 for £ 120 less the going price elsewhere.
Might be tempted to do some other mods on thr Forza if she's going nowhere. Like the guards and maybe some auxiliary lights.

My advice would be to get the NC750X as well as a Scoot, that's what I did.......
There was no way she was going to approve that purchase, but her her mum & dad are very ill, I suggested that we should live life whilst we still can and said she could have whatever she wanted (she chose another holiday in Italy) if I could have what I wanted.....
Sometimes you have to play really dirty to get what you want......

40th....a mere pup......handguards are well worth it,come April i’ll take the muffs off the Tmax and put the handguards on,i got a set of Puig ones.
With the Tom Tom,you’ll use T.Y.R.E. to plan routes if you dont already use it with your existing sat nav....

That statement has disappointed me I imagined you having a "bat cave" with boys toys as far as the eye could see
