the best thing you can do is talk to john connor for bike advice and set up, he'll put you on the right path,

hopefully my very unreliable fxr will go

I had a ball!
And yes I fell off - not sure with how much style but jumped back on and did a few more laps.
I can see why you all enjoy it so much, now might have to have a look at getting one!
