    what i did on the Hornet (apart from obvious "adjustment" stuff)

    New Handlebar
    New rear shock (Ohlins set up for my weight and riding style)
    New fork springs, again through Robert, and weight specific)

    next step (winter) is to send the forks up to him to sort out the valving and such...



    Those two last improvements (shock and fork springs) are the single biggest improvement of any money I have ever spent on any bike. no shit. Sort of expensive even with the basic shock I got (no remote reservoirs thanks).

    Ive also added some fripperies as well but they're cosmetic: tail tidy and bullet indicators, stickers....
    Some of those are great tips... but sound costly... I'm not planning on keeping the ZXR for much longer... I'll either be selling it or giving it to Sam (hmmmm) so either way I'm not prepared to pay for high costing performace/comfort upgrades...
    I'm not a complete idiot... some pieces are missing

    I don't want your honour, deary.

    I just want to see you put your heels behind your ears.

    Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.

    Wit! Good lord. Wit. From placidfemme.

    'Taking the piss out of your snatch', eh?

    Dirty wit at that.

    My world-view just suffered an abrupt shift.
