    So, the Duke was due for an oil change and you couldn't be fagged doing it yourself?
    Simple solution: get a new bike!

    Talking

    Well what can I say?? Have just done Tauranga to Coroglen and back, fark me...dang I say...DANG!
    MUCH smoother on the road than the SD-R and the SC's that it's shod with were simply divine and gave me a sense of surety which is always appreciated in a new bike.
    Took me a while to adjust back to an inline four's power curve and lack of torque but on the way back things were considerably better for me.

    Will do a better write up when bourbon isn't such a great priority

    For Sale. One toaster. Orange. Has an annoying little quirk that renders it toastera non grata in our breakfast nook.
    Cheap to an appreciative home.
    Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?

    Top hole old boy. Interesting to read your evaluation of the SDR. Sounds like the MV is more user friendly.

    My mum asked Chris one day what a rego was worth on a bike, he replied "Oh, about $24,000 give or take a couple of grand"

    No way, I like our toaster, nice momento to go with all the other stuff we have, Aprilia clock (doesnt work, say no more), various Suzuki, Kawazaki, caps, etc. Now we have to start dressing him all over again in MV attire.

    Perfection is not something you should ever attain, but something to always strive for. For if we actually achieve our idea of perfection, is it then any longer perfect?

    I am betting that is a true story!

    Nearly all men can stand adversity and hard time, but if you want to test a mans true character, give him power....

    Very nice Chris. Look forward to your write up. Still the SD for me though!!
    Nail your colours to the mast that all may look upon them and know who you are.

    I thought the bike looked and sounded fantastic.

    You have a nice new bike there too. When I was riding with you in Tauranga last year you had the 636. Hows the 675?
