i have already indulgefd myself into the 14 pages of workshop posts which have answered alot of my questions. which rims will fit and how to fit braided lines etc just gotta get myself round to doing it now.
have managed to bag myself a set of titanium scorpions though for £110 (retail £620). so those should arrive next week and then shes going on the dyno.

as for the bike its amazing, wasnt sure if i was gonna like a v-twin but i loves it. does anyone find the seat slippery though, seem to find myself hanging on 90%of the time

I find it not too bad with Jeans or leathers on but my waterproofs send me all over the place. You'll get used to it and know when to grip the tank with your knees or relax as time goes buy......and if not stick some velcro to your ass :wink:

Is it me or has Zer0 come back from the lakes a confused man :wink:

I still maintain something happened to him in Cockermouth (alien abduction or something). Thats it!!! I've sussed it. They beamed him up when we weren't looking, (there were a few twisties where we lost sight of one another), took one look at him and thought ' what the fcuk!! hes' already one of us', promptly unloaded him from their space ship, dropping him on his head. Hence the complete gibberish he's been spouting recently.

:wink: :wink: :wink: :wink:

Well I thought Martin (zero zero) was a very nice man, really, what a sense of humour, good stories and knows how to tell em. Made me laugh. Just the kind of guy you want to be part of this site..............maybe we should start a fan club, hero zero worship ?
Really everyone I met was a joy, just a pity we can't all meet up more often....................not as single bad apple.

just wish silver zipper was a bit slower...........glad he was two up, or I'd still be lost in the lakes.
