BTW: what did you think of that DVD of our wee pootle?

It was well done, nearly sat through the whole thing (a compliment) I have a replacement DVD-R here for you too. Cheers for that mate, I meant to let you know earlier but fitting exhaust's and riding bloody got in the way, sorry.

No worries - ridings better than watching. Any pics of the bike with the new mufflers? Can't wait to hear it at some stage...

Get on the bike and head on over, you can hear it no problems. They look a lot nicer than the Leo's and are a step louder I reckon.

Haven't decided on a ride yet...we'll see...

Yeah Japanese machines get much maligned for have no character which is a load of shit, it's there you just gotta put a loud pipe on it, I know I harp on it but the FZ1 was a classic example. Standard pipe it was ok but a bit lack lustre, you could hear there was a nice sound trying to get out. Put an Arrow on it and in my humble opinion it's hard up Robertydog's '09 R1 for the best sounding bike i've heard and every time I rode it it bought a smile to my face.. It also changed the character of the bike quite a lot, there was a more aggressive ramp up onto the mid range which was nice for doing powerstands at lower speeds...
