    True true, I posted without thinking - forgive me father for I have sinned! a better suggestion (ideal world and all that) would be to get a mate to ride it once each month.

    fark you're smart some times, hope those PTI's whip you into shape fat boy. Anyway, if you want you can leave it at my place, got loads of room. I'll even pull it out for a spin every second week to keep it in good shape for you.

    However i wouldnt want it to feel under-powered next to the mighty r6 so i'll even throw a blanket over it to hide its eyes.

    Let me know if you want to leave it at mine and i'll pillion your sorry ass back to Inglewood as a kind gesture.

    where opinion holds more weight than fact.

    It's better to not pass and know that you could have than to pass and find out that you can't. Wait for the straight.
