Don't you just hate it when that happens? That's when a typical Sunday morning ride out with mates ends up costing you £5-6K LOL

Having an understanding partner helps LMAO

Welcome aboard

Yep 61/4K to be precise and the boss ain't to happy,5 in the garage already.still you only live once!!

I have to say no other bike has wetted my appetite like this one.I was really shocked (pleasently) when I rode me pals.He's had the suspension sorted though but apart from that it's bog standard,i just could not believe how well the big girl went.took her over the Woodhead through Glossop and back up the snake pass and me pal on my R1 and 2 other mates on Blades couldn't loose me and they were moving.

He's being banging on for a while about this bike,but due to our work commitments we had not had a chance to ride together for nearly 12 months,we all thought he'd lost the plot,but obviously not.

Still can't get over it Very Happy

New arrival today,father and baby doing well all 500lb's of her. bounce

Re: hello from another Yokshireman Wed 29 Aug 2012 - 21:53

What's making the new baby so light? If she's a stock baby she should be 528lb (240kg) dry weight without any oil in her nappy or fuel in her belly, not forgetting coolant behind her ears.....Glad for you Mikeyb - may you have many wonderful miles now the new girl has arrived alien
