Hi all.
After taking a V4 1100 factory out for a test ride back in the days when we had nice weather, recently took delivery of my new bike.
Not been out on it much so far but from the test ride, it's just a stunning bike, much better than the Triumph Speed Triple R I had before.
Only mods so far are carbon front mudguard and rear hugger and Rizoma fluid pot for the front brake fluid reservoir. Waiting for the carbon side panels to arrive from Aprilia.
Might put an Austin racing can on when funds allow!
Cheers,
Ian

I've seen it happen with others. Not sure why either, but evidently a high tech trick!

Yeah, the 444 isn't a bad road at all, just looking forward to some decent weather to get out on it. Anyone ever get to the Joe meets down this way in the summer months?

The A444 between the A5 and M42 is a great run!

Whereabouts are the bike meets and what days/times are best, weather permitting?

There are a few in the Midlands, probably the biggest one? Is the Tuesday night meet at Bassetts Pole on the A38 outside of Tamworth. I know there are several more during the summer months.
