Re: The All New Megathread
As a (mostly) vegetarian I am questioning my decision to buy a turkey joint at all, let alone one that feeds 8 since I live by myself. Now on my 3rd Xmas dinner (I started on Xnas eve).

Looks pretty but always does till it gets slushy. We had light, wet snow last night but rain this morning (now stopped).

Re: The All New Megathread
That's awful. Can the test be retaken if there's any sign of improvement? Can it improve?
I know I will have to give up riding one day but I can't imagine what I'll do instead.

Humidity! It rained a little here this morning and then the sun made a half hearted attempt to come out. The rH in my house was about 68% (which is on the high side), so I opened a couple of...

Re: The All New Megathread
Some of the road tests I've read mentioned the twitchy handling on the Hornet along with its off idle abruptness. I sat on one and it fits me better than my GSX since I'm short. What made me pick...
