every day's a schoolday

even if it's just a refresher course.

This mornings lessons:

1) riding in strong gusting wind on a fully faired bike is still
"interesting".
2) opening the throttle fully in 3rd gear on a ZX-12R at ~90mph and
then riding over a catseye *does* mean the front bit comes up off the
ground a fair amount, "sort of" surprising the rider.

and, sadly:

3) I'm now bored with my KTM[1]. I'm having professionally cleaned and
tidied tomorrow afternoon, and then it'll be up for sale - I'll post
the details with pics after Mr.Mo-Clean has been tomorrow, and then
when no-one's interested, it'll go on fleabay.

[1] I still love supermotos *conceptually*. But they're not enough of
a hoot to get round the fact that they're crap at everything except
being supermotos.

 

Hmm, you /did/ send off that DVLA slip didn't you

Yep, that's why I outed the CCM. They're great ... for popping down
the shops. For everything else, something comfortable and with better
tank range is preferable.

P.

 

yesterday.

 

<perk>

 

it'll be for sale with a full year's MOT (and probably a full year's
tax too).
