I was trying to lace together a witty post using Kenny Roger songs, but I don't really know any, although I think the Gambler is one. That would have been useful.
Don't you look at my accountant.
He's the only one I've got.
I had a couple of guys out on a Bronze yesterday, we were riding from Lyttelton through to Governors Bay.
I was watching the mirrors (as always) and saw an unfamiliar sight coming from behind us.
We got overtaken by a Harley Pan America.
As I sit here this morning pondering the dent in my ego from being overtaken by a Harley, I must say, that bike carved the corners really well.
We were at the speed limit, the Pan was doing a bit more, the guy was riding really fluently.
Might pop into Rolling Thunder at some stage, my resistance is thawing.
While I'll never sell the GSXR I'm looking at the complete opposite end of the market for my next fix, got my eye on a new KTM Duke 390. Lots of fun without the risk of losing ones license in 1st gear. And after watching some of my exploits on the aforementioned road in some video's I found the other night I really think it's a wise move.
You'd never go hungry with Nigella Gaz.
If it weren't for flashbacks...I'd have no memory at all..
Yeah this one will not be as easy to convert as the GSXR, fly-by-wire throttle means I can't easily swap out the throttle assembly for a smaller unit to accommodate the clutch perch, then there's the indicators, hi/lo and horn to consider as well. And then the TFT screens menu controls, but they are not required for use when riding so access is not so important. I want to use this bike for more day to day riding, the thou isn't exactly motivating me to commute in the city more.
And then there's the reward of riding a slow bike fast over that off riding a fast bike slow.

Backing up a few posts to the discussion on speed limit signs, I rode up the Thames coast at the weekend. Anyone familiar with the road will have some idea how many speed restrictions there are, and almost all had unrestricted signs where the restrictions ended. In most cases, it probably wasn't a great idea to accelerate straight to 100.
