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.

But in brief, it's a fecking weapon.

Yup. That about covers it

A tuneboy cable for a KTM. Looks like they've sent me the wrong one, I've not got a KTM. Just bring it back and stop your moaning ;) He'll only stop moaning if you tell him you've already bought the triumph adapter and have found the perfect map..... I would, but i think these Triumphs have anti ta...

I do like the paint on that bike.

How many zillion miles has it done now?

Thats better.

Up to 321kms now. Bike is starting to loosen up a little and i'm not riding it so carefully. I switched into Road mode today (i used rain mode for the the first couple of hundred kms) and it now shakes its head out of corners and i've discovered what traction control feels like. :P It's perfect for ...

Getting stopped by the French rozzers with duke :D Apart from duke not having his license, me not having insurance papers for the new bike yet (it is insured) and then discovering Mrs Cookiemonster's bike has an illegally small plate it was fine (wasntme) Squeeky bum time for a little while. I playe...

Found the USB port in the back of the bike and ran a usb extension to the front. Can use Sat Nav now.

Riding it this afternoon.
