Just buy it & I'll look after it here as your SI bike. Would be interesting to see what difference that hot pipe makes.
Will let ya know which pub we end up at.....

Maybe you should get off your ass and come to the Dusty Butt in January and we can whip in and out of Big River on the way down.
There is a germinating idea to do this round here somewhere.

I'm intending on coming down this year, just got to convince the other 2 people at work who want the same time off to sod off and have their holidays on other dates.
