Last week on the kwack I had mine on mid power by mistake and was surprised how different it felt on full power
I've never really noticed it before but it really dulled the throttle response

Conquest carbon promo bike. Its featured on this month's fast Bikes mag and is used daily apparently. Bit OTT for my liking but still very nicely put together.

Still reading through the blog of the guy who rode his Panigale round the borders of the USA. Some quite stunning photography in it.

How did he manage for fuel ?, you can imagine fuel stations are fairly hard to find looking at those roads, he has to be stopping every 100 miles or so.

Those photos were taken in Death Valley. Not sure how he coped with the fuel situation.

Seems in the USA they have fuel station in the middle of nowhere. :D
