well was out again today with the mrs, this bike is getting more miles than any i've ever had, although i did find there was no oil left in the scotoiler so something leaked, topped it up and checked connections

Sounds like a cracking ride. Any chance of a Google map of it Chris ?

stick a map link up Chris, I'll have a play next time I'm up that way; see what I think, alternatively come down here and I'll take you on a "courier run" across the smoke, that'll boil some blood....or vent some...., I'll even do on one of those "sluggish" bit thou V twins .....

Piece o pie!
Can't believe I've not been up there before!

Only problem was a flaw in my personal riding technique, when tackling a left hand, downhill, hairpin, threw me a bit, harked back to my early riding days, so did fluff it.
Apart from that, the Raptor handled beautifully, and didn't c0ck its leg once to have a leak

Sluggish handling my ar$e

Oh right, yeah I think I know what you're talking about now, nice little run, next time I'm up I'll give it a go at a pace and see if it's that kind of road.

Cheers Mark.
