    Like any decent manufacturer, that stat didn't last long. Last time I checked, Mt Eden had sold at least a couple I think, and had 4 on the floor...

    I would *hope* that somewhere else in the country, there was one or two more

    mind you... I would assume it could stop better than a ST...

    Don't be too harsh on the ST's stopping abilities. On "the day in question" its ability to stop in time had a few things conspiring against it. The black line up the Kaitoke passing lane is testimony to the fact that it was doing its best.

    Confidence builder

    Reading all the earlier tips about confidence, I took a ride this week up the twin coasts route. SH16 up to Welllsford, out to Mangawhai Heads, up through Waipu, then on toward Whangarei and looped down through Paparoa before heading back to Akl. Great roads and views - great thing about it was little traffic, good mix of corners, bends, sweepers, twisties and great to practice building confidence by focussing on smoothness. Getting back into riding and upgrading to a 600, this is the type of riding that's good for me. Maybe for you too.
