you know I cant rememebr what the bike was... I wa sso in awe of a one armed rider (no offence if u read this mr rider- much respect) i saw the chap walking the car park and thought oh wot a shame then thought maybe he had a broken arm and it was inside his coat-...then HE got on this bike and sodded off at warp speed!!......dunno how he flips his visor up though !??
everyone who had been to matlock today said the coppers were swarming all over it >!!! one guy on an R1 got a penalty for his canand number plate and a producer !!..he was livid.

the luggage on this was ace...! heard the rider say it was (or genuine parts should be - wsnt too sure) about £600... but- the top box..expands to twice the size...like its hard luggage but the outer skin just pulls up and locks on itself to twice the size-- very nifty
