Well, the thought of a 6 litre muscle car was very appealing, but when the crunch came, and the dealers cheque was nearly ready to be made out - the bike won, and I don't think I'm ready to part with 2 wheels yet.

So, new pair of Azaro's, new shocks, 16 tooth g'box sprocket instead of 17.... and we are flying. You would not believe the in gear warp.. errr, times. £11 for the sprocket, and 20 quid labour fitting it. Makes 400 quids worth of race cans seem even more of a waste of money.

Anyway, point is - I'm still a biker, and until they slam the lid shut, and tip dirt on my coffin - I am going to stay a biker !!

rgds, Carl.


PS, bloody thing rewarded my "loyalty" by breaking exhaust stud nuber 3 !!! grrrr. Warranty job, AGAIN. Damn, did I choose the right option? nahhh. Course I did, but what a bloody pain.

well, I have a loan bike at the mo, and even tho it's a Div 600, it was still great fun going for a blast today. So I got to agree, show me a car more fun than a 100 horses of bike? - - well, apart from when it rains of course!
