Re: What did you do to your bike today ??
I don't know what you thought of the gearing on the test ride but its massively over geared IMO.
-1 on the front and +1 on the rear is a great mod but also not spoilt things by making it need cogs every 2 seconds either as the same mod does on some bikes.

5kg is a big weight saving so worth doing

Re: What did you do to your bike today ??
Tell you another mod worth doing IMO is a gel seat.
Ive spent 2 days in Wales on her now and found all day in the saddle quite harsh on the old bum cheeks.
I m getting one next week I'll let you know how I get on.

Re: What did you do to your bike today ??
Rode around 80 miles today up to Cadwell Park with 400 other bikes lead by Carl Fogarty. Loved it however the old bill have been up in force today as they have been speed checking everywhere. I don't mind however why do they hide around corners and in towns right by the speed signs. My dad used to drive up here a lot because my nan lived here for years and he said to me today they have always been hot on speeding. I hope I haven't been caught think I always stuck to the posted signs anyway.
When we got to Cadwell Park we were all allowed around the track. However my dad was cheeky and decided once wasn't enough so we joined the end of the queue and rode around again haha!!
