Picking up my CBR500R tonight.

Oh, BTW - it's now 3 years of restrictions!

I mostly commute to work now and I also have the wife's car to use so as much as I'd love to have an awesome car and a bike I could use the money better (holiday anyone?)

The car is awesome but during peak hour I don't get the chance to use the acceleration and handling (apart from a possible merge or two) and whilst it is comfortable, my wife's car is just as comfy.
