Further observations of (inept) riding of a V-Strom

    When venting ones feelings at a road user who repeatedly braked, stopped
    braking, braked etc whilst approaching a red light (in this case just a wave
    of the left hand - nothing rude) it's best not to do it on a bike with wide
    bars, where a drop of the opposite shoulder combined with mongness results
    in the bike countersteering like a mad thing. It probably looked very
    impressive as I banked the thing over and accelerated round the corner. It
    wasn't quite as good in the driving seat.

    A secondary observation from this would seem that when you go off the rear
    tyre, you're off the front too =:-0

    Still haven't ground the peg yet so there's obviously some more left :)

    The brakes are a bit kak too.

    I have erased my previous vitriolic thoughts now you've made that
    small correction.

    With my reputation for ignoring the red ones, it had to be done!
