    OMG!!!!

    The bike once again goes exactly where you are looking (not 3 feet wide of that) with almost no effort on the riders part!!!

    Very little steering input required

    Just about ended up on the wrong side of the road going around right hand corners a few times.

    AND so much easier to flick about at slow speed.

    The muffler repack has also improved the way it runs down low too and it does sound yummy - not as loud but YUMMY nonetheless

    Bring on the next fine day

    Clearly I deserve some brownie points for spelling queue right even though what I should have typed was cue. BUT queue is far more interesting to type!

    As I touch type at 100+ words a minute I tend to type the version of the words that I use most at work and queue gets used far more than cue in papers and other such communications. Another example that I regularly type incorrectly is 'their' - used far more than there in my line of work. Mostly I do register that I have typed the wrong word but when I'm on a roll and typing hard out I don't stop to correct till the end and as this is KB sometimes I don't even bother to correct...I get to be as loose as I like on here *sigh*

    Waiting for road to dry out a little - new rubber scrubbed and at the ready .........the little girl waits

    100wpm?? That's impressive! I'm lucky to do 65 after 3 years of shorthand typing at school!

    Hope the weather clears for you soon - I'm very jealous. I've managed to convince hubby that I need a bike, but he's slower than treacle when it comes to researching & purchasing....unless it's a 748 for himself of course! We cannot just buy the first one we look at, sheesh. Hopefully I'll be joining you on the roads soon though

    Do some research of your own my dear

    I have spent far too much time sitting at a computer.

    I like to freak Sully out by regularly typing an email or post while looking at him while I talk to him about something else at the same time....now that is some serious multi tasking is it not?! I think I might have a tumour or something

    Well I used to know what I wanted, but the budget doesn't stretch that far these days on one income. So now it's about finding a compromise between affordability, reliability and ridability/ride enjoyment I sorta know what I want, looking at early 90's inline 4 400s. I guess I really need to get out there and ride a few, huh?

    I used to do the same thing with workmates and the touch typing. They look at you like you're an alien

    Enjoy the Contis - they are good tyres.


    I suspect your muffler was packed with Asian belly-button fluff looking at that photo!

    I brought new Metzelers for my bike a few weeks back, It was driving me nuts about the noise when going over 50 kmph, It was those little rubber nobbly little thingies on the new tyres when I cut them down no more noise. it was a high pitch noise.
    If you are behind meDont ask as I am lost too.

    I always get my own cupcake I don't share that!!! Belly-botton fluff - yes that might explain the strange odour also
