Paws, I'm in the same boat. But I rode in to work today (in 3 miles 3 cars pulled out in front of me, each time me with nowhere to go, BH this thing has sharp brakes:!:). Anyway as I'm the boss I've decreed that we're closing at 4 or 4.30 latest so I can go play:D

Ah OK, much more fun when broken in fully and you can poke it with a stick

I just heard that my mates selling his EXUP .... must resist temptation ...

Its a new bike, new tyres, so don't bother trying to find its limits yet! If it were mine (and I wish it was!) I would be concentrating on not dropping it and scrubbing in the tyres for a good loads of miles before even thinking about wringing it's neck.
