OK.

Don't you know that D and G are next to each other
(almost) on the swiss german keyboard?

 

Yes, separated only by the letter F. Just like any other keyboard, in
fact.

Damn, you noticed!

 

Typo corrected.

 

<considers gag along the lines of "there's no f in german>

 

Oooh - what did you think of it, Bob?

Particularly the screen...?

 

<flounce mode>
Ha!
fluffy = flauschig!
so there!
</fm>

 

I've never been on a bike with so much power before.
I've never cornered at those sort of speeds before.
I loved it.
Reasonable consumption - about 5 to 6 Litres/100 Km[1]
My arse survived _quite_ well.
The screen was very multicoloured, at least after the 1st 10 Min!
The wind-flow wasn't bad.
My helmet didn't shake but my broad(?) shoulders took a bit.

[1] work out mpg yourselves.

 

ok by me.

 

Right-oh, Flaushigkatt.

Now *that's* quality [/QUOTE]

Yes, yes I'm not rising to this stinky bait [1]

I'm sure I would have said something along the lines of "So, we're
stopping for fuel then!" after we'd been discussing whether to run
through to Maidstone or not.

Tsk

Paul.

[1] He says, rising to said bait ..

 

Zactly what I did, only I made it more than one and finally reached
home for ~20:00. Unpack tank bag, pack suitcase to head off Monday for
a work trip.

 

Heh - it's only got between 90-100bhp depending on what you read - but it's
making most of it about half way through the rev range. Is indeed rather fun
to wind on though

It was dry wasn't it?

I'm still undecided - mainly to the reason I'm getting to ...

Seats great, though I think the pegs are surprisingly high (considering the
bike)

You see this is the problem I have - the only thing that works for me is no
screen. I got a new screen this week (MRA Vario) and whilst it's a _lot_
better than standard, it's still like being hit in the head, repeatedly.

No screen is just wind noise but then it's like riding a naked bike - bloody
hard work at times.

I just don't get how I can't stand it, yet other people seem fine - either
differnt dynamics, tolerances or god knows what.

 

I understand that several people were accused of exactly the same
thing by a member of this year's run by a particular person.
