Here's rocket. It feels quite small (I'm 6"2) like a 600 to ride, yet with a nuclear reactor as an engine.

The disco lights kept me amused [emoji12]

... changing back to the supercorsa when the sun's out as that's infinitely preferable to the cost of fixing the bike. Or is riding to the track and getting scrubs of some sort fitted at the track an option? There's always a tyre guy at the track and I could throw my tyres in my mates car. Thoughts ...

Re: There's never a copper around when you need one

When I got pulled on the Sprint RS I called my mate who is a partner specialising in criminal law. He didn't mention to me about getting the NIP in person. He told me about the 14 day rule but nothing else.

Re: Sports touring tyre test

He does say that the tests were very close. I know that the PR4s are very popular.

I'm liking the Z8s on the SX, they seem to suit it. I'm getting decent mileage from them as well or though they are starting to square off but that's no surprise of 4,000 miles winter riding.
