Had to go to the outlaws in Llanrwst to arrange dog sitting for the weekend. So A470, then A5, then B5105 (ohh baby!) home. Only 50 miles. She will be soooo fast when run in. she's only got 300 miles in her.

No worries about the lift, but man you fidget on the back of the bike Apologies about nearly dropping it at low speed though Still not quite used to pillions. Didn't like the PR2s with the weight on the back end either, but more on that later.

I actually passed you when you were parked up in Llanrwst. After I left my dad's I went down the A470 to attack Pen-y-pass on the way home with my video recorder, so your bike probably got video'd too.

If you heard someone giving the bike some stick around 6:15pm in Llanrwst, that'd be me. Figured I'd let you know I was there.

EDIT: Post order is a known problem, and is a WIP.

Explained why I was fidgeting! My bad ankle would not bend enough to put foot square on the peg and kept sliding off, so the fidget was to get it back on the peg!

I'll take your word you nearly dropped it, I didn't think that.

That bike is in serious need of a Laser exhaust system... Those V4's sound the muts when unleashed...

Very nice machine, I keep thinking that a VFR may be my next bike as it has most of what I want, and will cater for my poor old back. I was just about to buy one when I spied my 'Blade in the showroom and my heart won over my head. Not that I've ever regretted it....

I'm looking forward to seeing it on Saturday

Yeah missed out on one with Leo Vince pipes on. It did sound good. New pipes when the wallet recovers.

Just a little info for Luckypants really:

From a little look around (bike trader), the offer for the SV was actually pretty reasonable it seems. I've seen a similar milage K5 for £2595, bikes with half the milage only get an extra hundred or so, and Justin offered me £2500.

Still, I'm not throwing the SV + £1100 at that GSXR. The can would need changing, and the blue screen didn't look right on the black & silver GSXR.

Would of been good to turn up to the AR on a GSXR. Time to talk to the bank manager about a spare toy...
