Woo hoo! <fx: mucks about with spanners and main jets>
On a completely hypothetical and unconnected matter, I would not recommend turning up unaccompanied to a DAS test. I imagine that it would probably invite awkward questions.
Well done, couldn't of happened to a nicer guy. Enjoy pure unrestricted pleasures... oh and the bike. D

I did go and view a CB500s locally today and it was bloody awful to be perfectly honest (condition wise). If my back/leg was behaving a bit better I would have definitely viewed yours, but I have only just got off my walking stick and can't drive or ride very far yet. D
Went down the M23 and back on the A22 earlier - someone's nicked a couple of miles between J7 and J9. And tightened up the access road bends. <VBG> BTW, are you favouring the 'S' at hand over the naked model in the bush ATM?
Damn! Missed that one! And another hypothetical situation - just suppose someone took a DAS test on a bike nominally making over 50bhp. For arguments sake say, I dunno, maybe a CB500. And just supposing (I'm not for a moment suggesting that this ever happened of course) the bike was actually restricted to 33bhp, but the examiner was unaware, conducted the test normally (with a few puzzled questions about what was going on), and issued a pass certificate. My question is this - once issued, can a pass certificate be revoked if iffy information comes to light subsequently? Or is it like unto the Laws of the Swedes and Nasturtiums[1] in that once proclaimed it cannot be gainsaid? Just idly wondering.... [1] Spot the obscure Frank Richards quote?
Think I am favouring whatever I can get to view at the moment, I went to Chelmsford and Romford today and my back/leg started playing up, so had to take it easy for the rest of the day. Think if I had a naked CB500 I would put a fly screen on it like I have on my Bandit... looks ok dunnit? D
I think the Bandit looks good with it. A naked CB5 with one would look a bit less front heavy than an 'S'.
It's very wierd suddenly having twice the power on a bike that you are used to. In a good way. _Must_ be careful.
It was somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the The way he's phrased it, it seems the test was taken on a restricted bike. 33 instead of 50bhp. I don't see a problem with that at all, unless the DAS thingy has a minimum power spec. -- Dave GS 850 x2 / SE 6a SbS#6 DIAABTCOD#16 APOSTLE#6 FUB#3 FUB KotL OSOS#12? UKRMMA#19 COSOC#10
