I mean, when there's so much torque and pleasure available at the wrist, you just try and not wring its neck!

Just think about it, every time you ponder if you should or shouldn't twist that wrist or save the gas, you'll always go like "ah, feck it! let's have some fun!" .. So, there's clearly no hope for you Nowt left to do but get to liking those filling stations...

So so true....I like to think I will behave but everytime I am being a good boy within 5 minutes a situation comes up with that "do I or don't I" dilemma and a big f' it takes over me

The thing is the novelty is never going to wear off I don't think

Looks like I'll need to buy myself some extra fuel capacity and strap it on the back if I do a big tour next year

So.....in summary this bike is awesome at everything except for MPG I can live with that....
