Hello,
First post so HI.
I have had my RSV mille about 3 months now and love it, last bike was a CBR900 1992 and that was good but RSV is a lot better.
Already has one speeding fine and looking ahead to summer.

Thanks
VBSteve

Hi Steve and welcome to the zone. I've also been looking forward to summer but it's not coming. Whilst it may be warm it has pretty much rained every day at some point. Not good well pissed off.


Will have to get a supermoto so I can still have fun in the wet. :thumbup

Hello VBsteve. That'll be the best bike you'll ever own. How about a photo?
And how are the roads down there? Any bends?

You might have had the dryest winter but we've had the wettest bloody summer again. Exactly the same as last year oh and the year before. I earnt book a trackday until a few days before so I can check the forcast and even then it's usually forcast rain with a bit of sunshine and then more rain.

Global warming my arse, global raining more like it.

Welcome Steve. You will enjoy your RSV. Compared to the Ducati, they are real low maintenance allowing you uto ride not spend additional cash to keep her running.
