Northland Noose

You did mention that when I was looking to purchase. Still, I know I have the right bike and it's just a case of a simple self control adjustment.

You're a better man than me... Bike I'm most wary of so far is the Blackbird. I've ridden plenty of bikes with more power, but they never felt like they were idling at 140kph...

ain't that the truth 4000rpm in 6th = 120 - 125km idling really best invest is a cramp buster for the throttle grip, awesome for touring but if used right its like having cruise control best $20 I've spent

Jubbly Maha, just cottoned onto this thread and it's reminded me of why it's so difficult to move around the shed. Motorbikes! In a shed in Northland! = Happy happy joy joy! Next bit of day light we have together, Jas and I that is, we are off for a ride.

One thing I have to become more 'alert' to/of, is the how quick and easy it is for the bike to get to a speed where, I could end up walking..
At one stage, I was when a quick glimps at the speedo suggested that, the day could well have ended sooner had there been an HP within striking distance

precisely the reason i bought the whisperjet (goldwing) for touring on, tho those that i ride with believe i still go above walking speed, dont see how tho really
