Congratulations... now you can offically get it Dirty :0)

Been to work on it for the last couple of days, not dirty yet

Getting used to it slowly but surely...


I took it on the A1M tonight and there was noting about at all, so it was taken to some mph and since then my helmet is much louder than before, another job for the morning.

120 miles and it's stayed shiny bits up, somehow, the wet roundabout last night must have had diesel on it, front end felt funny and by the time that had registered the back was wobbling (cue expletives and backside doing a rabbits nose impersonation). My crash bungs have arrived and will be fitted when I give it a wash later.


I love this bike

Good to hear that you are liking the bike

320 miles and all is well, the above diesel incident was more likely the Dunlop Qualifiers (early version) which were stone cold at the time and I have since found out really don't like water very much...

Crash bungs have been fitted and hopefully will never be needed. And I'm still getting used to cornering, but the ride to work at 4AM was treated gently.... Oh and I'm going on it tomorrow too

...even if it rains? The correct answer is 'yes'. But if your tyres don't like the rain, change em!!!! Conti RoadAttacks are brilliant in the wet.

Forecast says DRY and I was thinking about Dunlop Roadsmart's but my local bike tyre fitter recommends Bridgestone BT21's.... Soo much choice and next to zero experience = confused.
