My new baby!!
Just thought I'd show off my new baby!
I collected her on Thursday afternoon but haven't had a chance to ride her properly yet! I have only gone from the dealer's to Ian's (chutz) place and then back to the dealer again this morning!  As soon as I had stopped at Ian's, I noticed that there was loads of coolant pouring out from the breather pipes on the left hand side of the bike.  So it's gone back already and they couldn't work out what the problem was so they've kept it and have loaned me a nackered out old Bandit 1200... Which is absolute agony for me to ride, as bizarrely, the upright bars hurt my (recently healed, broken) wrists, whereas clipons don't!  Any way - the 30 miles I have ridden the bike, I absolutely loved! It's just so stable & confidence inspiring and it's a bloomin' rocket ship!!!  I am in love once again!  With some fool on it!!  I'm sure I recognise that fella from somewhere!!  From one side (I love that single sided swingarm!!)  From the other side!  And from the rear!!  And just to embarrass Ian...

Hmmmm... It makes it really difficult to find bikes that I fit on though! I wanted an RVF400 when I bought the SV but I was Waaaaaaaay too big for it, so the SV it was!! Even most of the new crop of super sport 600s are too small for me! I dwarf the R6, with my knees sticking out over the top of the tank and on the Gixxers, the fairing tries to kneecap me every time I sit on them!!

Same here with fitting on bikes.
The Huyabusa is a perfect fit, though. |
