Mark, I hope you get your finger sorted soon.

You get used to it, believe me. I can now stand a constant 100mph without a problem.

Er, no. Don't do it. Please. Naked is cool, partly clothed isn't!

Glad you all had a good time.

I win, I win 486.6 miles today, five tanks of juice, that's £60 .

Nice to meet you guys, not my first choice of roads, but fun never the less.

My apologies to those suffering any hearing impediment.


(Yes Steve nail is a nice shade of purple now.)

Cheers Mark.

I wasn't sure which way to go so stopped at a petrol station to read the
map. Then saw you blast past and followed at my geriatric pace.
Met the remainder of the group in Calne.

Being more or less local I covered only 210 miles yesterday. Still,
feel a bit tired. Good thing I don't have a tennis match today.

I seem to have offended the style police . . .
It was meant as a joke, the point being that I should have got a faired bike rather than a naked if I want to zoom around the countryside (ducks down to avoid incoming . . .).
Are fender extenders considered cool , if so, anyone know where I can get one that will fit a K4, as the one I ordered from Busters is the wrong shape

Nah, you just need big neck muscles unlike these nancy boys who hide behind fairings...

They're not cool but we allow them ( ) as they're pretty effective at keeping the water off the front plug.

Put the one from Busters on the For Sale forum and I'm sure someone here will know where to source a K3/4 item.
