The bike itself was no problem, im 6ft and the mini screen fitted lifts the wind over your head, i suffer from wide shoulders and it did effect my left one as i have damaged the ligaments yrs ago, so it became a little tired, but onl ong motorways you can just rest your arm for a bit,
My naked seems to be geared a little high, so cruising at 80 puts it at about 6k rpm, the sweet spot, so its a: very easy to go a bit to quick as you find your self edging 90 no worries, and B; dips the fuel economy but i still managed 50mpg on a recently serviced engine,
im selling it now if you want to buy it and stand it in your garage polishing it for a few months?

Thanks, im really pleased with the clarity of the pics too not quite amarko quality but, afterall its a a little fuji 4.1 mpixel camera and was verging on the cheap side
and operated by me, and cameras dont usually like me!
as for the trip, all i can say is dont just plan too, do it, if there is one thing the trip has taught me its to get out more, the world is such a beautiful place and there is sooo much to see, the next trip i want to do i hope will take me though france to germany back through switzerland and back up through the pyreneees and maybee home via santender again? but i want to take about 2 weeks if not more and ill need a more capable bike, like a tdm or a vfr or something simmillar, but thats a lot o cash, so i might have to start with the lottery, or keep it as an aim by "x" yrs time?
It already seems like a lifetime ago,
ho hum
