Rico and Aldo, yeah, I went into the garage tonight and had a look at her. Pretty bummed out about the whole gig, but as Aldo says, needs must. My wife passed her test a few years ago and I feel she done it because of me. I have to keep her interest up, so have decided to buy a lazy-boy (but pretty quick, 197 bhp at the crank) bike to get us through this mess. I have to say that after taking the cans off (which are on e-bay just now), the bike looks pretty stripped.
I will miss the head turning as you roll past people, also the bike farting and popping on the over-run. 3rd gear seems to be the best with my one. I did get the suspension set up at Bob Grants at Knockhill (ex-racer and Ohlins specialist), so she handles seriously better than when she came out the crate.
Got loads of pics though, so I think I will make a collage for the wall.
I'm jealous of you guys!!
Cheers,
Arron.
