Blimey - Misano will be empty!

Spanked it round rural France. Had an argument with a HGV driver and waved to a gendarme. Good afternoon's work

I remember when Frankie had his 1000RR when they came out. So quick.

When we went to the IOM it was pulling away from the RC8 once it got to higher revs - amazing to watch.

At the moment i think it would need to be a lot of money. The KTM isn't quite there but it is improving with Espargaro. I can't see Smith lasting the season if Kalio has another good run.

Oooh - proper oil that. It's the only thing KTM recommend i think.

Thats very positive news. They have done a fantastic job. I'm positive the quality is much higher on mine than the old ones 10/15 years ago.

Righto - back from service. Spent 2hrs getting back home :D They checked the chain tension - spot on, so it was loose. It was better on the way to service, so probably loose from factory. The bike just got even better - being able to rev it higher and leave it high into corners is the way with this ...

Me neither but I'll sell it for at least what I paid for it.

Bag looks good on the tail.

Rode it like I stole it to the dealers. There is nothing like time pressure to focus you as road to dealers closed 20kms away . got to be there by 9.

Diversion attack mode . I dread to think how fast you can go once serviced

Off to go and get my first service now

Have a look at the Ventura racks - it was the only way on the RC8. Great pieces of kit and you can pick off the components on eBay gradually - cost me about 70 all in.

Had a prick in a Porsche convertible hunt me down on the motorway for daring to undertake him. Him and about 5 cars all in the outside lane, waiting for the car in front to get out of their way. I sail by and carry on as normal. I don't do silly speeds on the motorway, too many unmarked cars about,...
