With respect, Ollie Owner;
Your words are a big grin at this end and I can't believe how fast you are with them. Perhaps faster than on your bike, eh, mate?

Bllodey hell. What's the chances of us three being online talking b/s at the same time? It's 7:48am here, and I'm just about to take the boys to school, and then to the seaside for a brunch with the missus - on the Tuono, of course. And here we are, one of you in the UK still out of bed, and one in the USA (I have no idea what time it is in SoCal atm).

We're minus 7 here, Dave. Nobist in GB? is plus eight from me, I think. Geez! His wife must think he's doin' **** at this hour. Guess she approves; him practicin' his charm and all.

I've put my T up against a lot of other bikes. Only the big i4s have a chance anywhere and it's only in straight lines. I say this as a guy with a 200hp GSX-R 1000. I can make my T corner as hard as anything I've ever ridden. It inspires terrific confidence.
And that's why MCN is scratching their head and giving the nod to Aprilia.

I think he's trying to butter her up to get that third weekend away with the boys.
Shaman: you hit the nail on the head methinks.

Where There's a Will, There's a Way
I think the guests who've read down to this point finally get it. It's not miles per gallon, it's miles per grin.
Anyway, all this traveling talk (and Nobist's growls) reminded me of an old, dubious antidote from earlier riding days. Cut me some slack here, now so as not to let me hang myself.
--It was late and a weary traveler, let's call him Will, wandered into a rough & tumble biker bar, sat down and commenced to drink. After a while, some of the others in their Hell's Angel-type leathers noticed this guy was hitting on some of the other men. This was not the venue and, the bartender, loathsome to get out the mop and clean up the blood came over and, in no uncertain terms threatened, "Not another word out of you!"
Will then dropped his head between his shoulders, at least until this mountain of a greasy mechanic who just finished a very bad day walked in, ordered a Jack, neat, and growled, "What do you have to eat? I'm f---in' starvin'. I could eat a bull."
In one of his last moments of experiencing the simple pleasures of full range of motion in his extremities, Will raised his head, batted his eyes and went, "Mooo."
Resilient in wit, his body was soon to be tested in same.

I must get my specs checked. For some strange reason, I missed this post:banghead
Now that image of Nobist paints a pretty picture. A juggling act of supreme skill: to wit the front on the ground and the sore bum on the seat.
I doff my hat in deference to such flattery. Cheers mate.:cheers

Now that's an alternative to a gel seat I don't think I'll be exploring..........

Ey up Troy. Who's doin the event?
My sweetheart bless her little cotton socks got me a voucher with Focus Events. I can go anywhere they're at up until Novmber.
Cadwell might be a bit far from Gunchester for a ride, a raz and a ride back but I'm tempted.
