    if you saw it you would'nt want it - it was shortened and looks uneven and one of the screws that holds the baffles in is broken - and it sounds brappy

    because you complained I removed from the auction - happy now?

    I was more than a little pissed off about that

    still it was my fault for not checking exhaust - tire clearance when I fitted the D606 tires the day before

    My little SuperTrapp has more bolts holding it together than frankensteins monster.

    Every time it came loose I drilled another hole and in went another bolt

    Jeez and they r sposed to have MORE power than the old models!!!!

    And I thought it was my lack of skill/fear of flipping yet another bike that stopped me popping wheelies.
    I mentioned vegetables once, but I think I got away with it...........

    So you are saying that it's not intended to take SERIOUS tyres then?

    Not a serious option, eh?

    BTW, what's the handling like in the sealed twisties on the 606's and what pressures do you run?
    I may not be as good as I once was, but I'm as good once as I always was.
