I'd recomend changing that plate ASAP or you may well end up with more headaches from the wife. Doesnt look the legalist of plates.
And if the band you're in starts playing different tunes, I'll see you on the dark side of the moon.

Well real chuffed. First timein a year i,ve been on a bike. Boy how good it felt as well. I took the new baby beast for a MOT and she flew through win no advisorys either .
Just one thing though, she felt like I had not got into 6th, felt she was really revving high and there should have been another gear. Do all Hornets ride and sound like this or is it just me used to the storm. ????? :think: :think:
Apart from that she goes quite well. :thumbup:
