Sig update

Oh yes. **** me, it's nice. Houston, we have torque...

 

Heh. Roll on the spring. Last one to Hartoft's a sissy!

 

I hear that the 1200 is really not that much more powerful than my one, if
fact the difference is hardly noticable.

 

Well, as I had a 600 before this one, I can tell you unequivocally
that what you've heard is utter bollocks. Even at running in revs
(>5500 currently), the pick-up is nuts - 3.5k rpm in top gear is
60mph, ISTR the 600 having to do about 5k rpm in top for that.

 

Bugger, forgot my landing net )))))

 

Rearrange the following words into a common phrase: off ****.

Woo, and may I just add, Hoo.

Nice aint they? DFC OK.

 

I'm surprised you fell for it Darren. He was sitting on the river bank
with a neon sign flashing "please Mr fishy jump in my net".

Glad the new bike has found favour already.

 

<Fx: opens book, licks pencil>

OK, when's he going to bin it?

 

Unfortunately, not black. Very dark blue. I like it though.

 

Sorry Darren, some had to reduce that new bike grin to stop the top of your
head falling off.

Hope you enjoy your new bike, next time you pass a 600 it could be me so
don't forget to shout out "wanker" as you go by.

 

Sungwoh gek gnis fukhig 'uk ow o' nge ngouffh...

Well, it's new innit? Once the novelty value wears off, we'll see
what it's really like. Should have it nicely run in and past the
first service by the time spring arrives.

 

Toldja!

Lubbly, innit. Big grin time, mate - hope you get a chance to enjoy
it before the snow and ice shut you down. Beware the torque on
less-than-grippy roads, too - it will spin up surprisingly easily;
you'll want to be at least one gear higher everywhere than with the 6.

Merry fucking christmas to you too.

Slow then.

You'll be wishing you bought a red one.

 

Good ground bait you can buy these days....

 

This I have already discovered. Was very nearly a BTM. Greasy
roundabouts, pouring rain and new tyres do not combine favourably with
buckets of low-down torque. Having one gear less than the 6 makes
that last concept interesting. Can't wait for some decent weather.

 

(The Older Gentleman) burbled:

Was it a death threat? Was it?

 

Heh, schweet.

Now, DFC.
