    Well that seat wasn't so bad in the 1970s (maybe that's why they haven't changed it).

    And I suspect that it wont get sat on too much. The pegs may take some wear though!

    I would hate to make that beautiful paintwork dirty.

    What an evil, snarling, snorting (farting, coughing) machine that is!
    You probably didn't notice over all the noise, but I followed you most of the length of Onewa Road this morning (not too close - had to preserve my hearing).
    IS it tuned for the "off-road" zorsts? Didn't sound like it...
    ... and that's what I think.

    Or summat.

    Or maybe not...

    Dunno really....

    lol Evil?

    well I doubt it's been tuned or rejetted, it's bit of a topic going by some of the fourms on the net.

    Some say you should, some say don't need to etc.

    Some people get back firing even they they open up, I only get it when I roll off, plus it sounds awesome lol

    So.... you haven't traveled behind your bike then?

    At one stage, I was almost sure you were looking for a car or bus (or pedestrian?) to jump - you were standing on the pegs, getting ready. I could see the Steve McQueenish thoughts dribbling out of your helmet, as you imagined the excited applause from the hapless people trapped in their cagemobiles, or waiting to be herded onto the omnibus...


    But no.
    Perhaps you were just stretching your legs because the seat was as bad as it looks?
    ... and that's what I think.

    Or summat.

    The seats fine,
    Endless fun = tors on a gravel road, spinning it up out of corners, it is bad for your health because you end up going way too fast.
    Truth is we all want to be Steve McQueen for a day, unless you are too young to know who the hell he was.
