Hope this is the right section for this!

I've just got my 1.7 moondust silver Puma and took it out the other day for the 1st time on my personal 'T.T. circuit'

the route was originally created for my 1999 Suzuki SV650S v-twin bike
then perfected for my Suzuki SV650S K2
now... the Puma is taking on the monster lol

Left onto A565 bypass, @ RAB take 3rd exit and left at end of short lane. Practise wheelies/ stoppies on New Causeway.

Left over humpback to bike shop/ Tesco Petrol St. or go right to continue…

…bumpy left hander leads to humpback jump.

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand - strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming WOO HOO -What a Ride!:D
