    Waiting for the weather


    Have the new sprint st downstairs, my boots on and just waiting for the call to say the weather has broken out west and we'll do the KR test photo shoot.

    The Co-pilot is on standby cause I'd like some 2-up shots as well - You rarely see that in magazines and heaps of us carry passengers regularly.

    Don't want to start any other jobs cause the phone could ring any minute.
    So I'll read some KB

    Yes - I agree - they are quite weird aren't they,

    Mind you - that and the way the mirrors flap about a bit at high speed are the only things I can really fault with it - everything else is way smooth.

    ahhh just had the call while typing - it's off - hailing again. Try again for the morning.

    Back to work. New RK chain advert and vespa brochures.

    I guess they would be easily replaced. There should be aftermarket parts for it coming out soon

    Those lights are a damned shame

    I like the lights. I presume the triple light system overcomes the "only one light on when on dip" look that a lot of the current dual headlight bikes have?

    If I could justify the money, I'd have one tomorrow!

    yeah - i hadn't thought of that dipping 3 angle - nice - But I think the probeleem is simply the demo bike's lights are set Waaay too high.

    Is that the one that was in AMPS?

    I was in there the other day with the wife, and I was sure she was going to suggest I buy it; she was making all the right noises. I really liked the pipes (are they the aftermarket s/steel ones? The ones on Triumph's website aren't slashcut like that...) - much better looking than the VFR800 VTEC ones...

    Anyway, no such luck; she was obviously having a rest from being the PodPerson ImposterWifeWhoLikesBikes'n'Stuff.
    ... and that's what I think.

    Or summat.


    Or maybe not...

    Dunno really....

    If I had a sharp pointy stick a few hundred K's long right now I'd poke you in the eye Big D for teasing us - again.

    I've an idea - it's nice and shiny here, so I'll just pop around and borrow the Sprint and Ms Biff and I can do you some nice shots. I'm nice like that.
