Hello all, i have a new motorbike and have updated my profile
so it now lists a real motorcycle.

It is a Suzuki S40 Boulevard (SL650) , i am having fun getting
used to riding again on a new style of bike.
I am currently running it in for the first 1000km and am looking
forward to cranking it up when it has been seviced.

Must admit to a stupid mistake yesterday when filling the gas tank
for the first time, i put the hose handpiece into the tank and held
the trigger while watching the pump display only to hear the splashing
of petrol going all over the tank an running down over the motor before
the pump cutout.

Lucky for me the bike had only been running for about a minute before
stopping to fill up, so was not as hot as it could be.
I am so used to filling the work ute with the trigger locked that it has
become a bad habit to trust the cutout working.

Joni, has Wari handed over the welcoming duties to you? Used to be him and his vertical smile were first on the scene, but now you are the smiling face of KB (and a very lovely face it is ;))
