The swingarm looks dented

Happy Birthday fella!

They get a good write up. Not my style of sports bike but very capable.

Vibration is interesting, shouldnt happen on an IL4.

Good fun when it's not yours

DSC03599.JPG chickenstrips It's been tough, but i coped (devil) I've had it in Sport mode on a ride this afternoon OMFG. (bandit) It's not a mode button, but a mood button. Mushy, Safe, Smiley and Knob modes. I wish you could rename them. Sport allows the front end to bounce along the tarmac while ...

I can see me making the change one day, next 5 years no, but look at bikes like the Energica Egos, The teccnology is getting closer and closer and more within reach of normal people. 30 min quick charge and a range of 93 miles, they are getting there. http://www.energicamotor.com/energica-ego-elect...

Lorenzo apparently used to much fuel in the first few laps and ended the race with 60ml left. Does look like he is getting to grips with the bike now though. Interesting as the commentators thought Ducati were fuel saving so they could turn them up at the end. I really don't like racing that restri...

Its certainly a good first test - at least you have an offer of help from JHP if it doesn't.

Gave her a good scrub today. All the bits on now:

Great race that

Watching MotoGP as it's pi$$ing down outside (again)

Yes - arrived this morning and all fitted now

Bar ends for new mirrors came too, so those all on

Will do some pics when the bike is cleaned.

That can only be good for the facilities.

Thankfully not I did get a new plate for Mrs C00kienonsters' bike, however then discovered on Monday my insurance wasn't valid after all Typo by the insurance company Good job the rozzers didn't use their computer.....

Sorted now.

Thats really interesting. It is the future.

It's the lack of noise i'd struggle with most of all.

Could you commute on it?

Long ride to Cognac and back yesterday. Sadly a lot of it was damp or wet roads, but it is interesting to ride a new bike and tyre combo in the wet. The weather in France has been relatively poor this summer and yesterday was 18 - 20 degrees and damp or sopping wet. It got as low as 15 when raining....

Thats a work of art that.

Leave it on, bitumen the the gaps then new stuff over the top. Should be fine.

Been out for another zip about this afternoon. Now at 414km's so halfway run in :) You start to notice little things once you've got comfy on a bike. A couple of negatives presently are the back brake which isn't strong - maybe needs bleeding or i need to use it more. The indicator and mode switches...

:D I can't argue with that. Thats generally been my week without the higher rev range (much). I stuck mine in sport mode for 2 mins and decided it was a bad idea until it's run it :D - as you say - weapon mode. I couldn't keep the revs down. A lot of people have said the Arrow on the 765 doesn't add...

I agree - great on a warm day or a track, but i'm not sure i'd want them as a tyre in all conditions.
