however, the NO 1 bike will soon be forgotten when the sound of the Duc thumps out through the bush for all to hear lol

There you go hornetboy, regardless of what you ride, just be there....HAve a look at the map, I think the longest stretch is 160km so you can handle that I am sure

And what would the Duc be doing in the bush to start with? Fraternising with a zooki or Daytona?

Cool ok guys count me in then ,whether i ride the 900 or the 250 who knows but should be a fun ride. the tank range on the vtr is like 300km+ so yea should be right and the hornet i think is about 250km+ so yea. man i think sitting on the vtr for over an hour is like sitting on cold hard concrete

Just went for a 70km two up strope and my ass is a little weary... So you are lucky on the VTR..

My seat slopes foward to the tank and doesn't flatten out at all so the boys get a little knocked around, now add a pillion sitting on the very slippery seat and heavy braking situations and what do you have.... Two lumps, one either side of the adams apple lol....

Don't worry hornetchap, you will be fine..
