  • It's getting registered by APNR but it's usually only a £60 fine (can be up to £1k) if they can be bothered to catch you.

  • We should probably leave it there, undoubtedly DethBeard's activities are being closely monitored which will lead to this forum and thread in no time. Mum's the word.

  • I wonder if you would have to prove that you were on your way to the mot station via work and home and work and home.
    Also has your tax run out or do they overlap?

  • Tax is up to date, more common to overlap now it doesn't transfer with ownership.

  • Coming late to the gp rider discussion but I've always had a soft spot for tetsuya harada I remember him being nails whilst racing against Rossi in the 250s..

  • This is my steed for the best part of the next month....

    It's heavy, lacks any feel, burns through fuel like it's going out of fashion and is impossible to maneuver under 15 mph.

  • ...you can't put a price on comfort though.

  • I've got a receipt that says you're wrong....

  • Awesome. Wouldn't even know where to start with that. Perfect machine for the long, straight highway. Probs. :)

    Don't ever miss an opportunity to fill up!

  • Does it have a jacuzzi?

  • Yeah... It's a completely different animal to my Tracer 900.

    Glad I stumped for the $0 excess damage waiver. 100% going to drop it at least once.

  • The Tracer is an animal, that one up there is more on the nautical.

  • Get help before you try and lift it up.... ;)

  • @soul Here's all the help you'll need.

  • A beast, good luck!

  • Once you get confident it's easy enough to do at low speed, if you drop it a couple of times and lose your bottle it's a pig though. Dropped one on a petrol pump in NZ. Not my finest moment. Lucky the pump was firmly bolted down.

  • Cheers all. I'm confident of my abilities with just me on the bike but with the wife and luggage too, it's a handful.

    I managed about 250 miles on it yesterday and I've only got ~140 today.

  • If you drop it at low speed the pillion usually ends up on their feet anyway! At least that's what happened with my other half. I rode pillion on the rockwell ultra when a friend picked his up, the pillion really gets the better deal.

  • naked honda goldwing gl1000s look and sound lovely

  • I wouldn't go full naked like that but semi stripped bagger style GLs are really tickling my fancy the now...

  • Felt much better about the tank today.

    Covered about 150 miles with ease. I think setting up a visible satnav (i was working off of a headset in my pocket the day before) and having the radio on made it more enjoyable.

    Still a complete dog at slow speed though I came nowhere near to dropping it today.

  • Done!

    Just back from Leicester, everything within legality, apart a peak of 100mph on the a1, she asked for more but i told her that we first need to learn how to avoid the law, if not there is the risk that the British authority can separate us, she said: learn quick.

    First impression is that she is wild, very athletic, nailed on the tarmac and she can be very moderate too. She is a fucking beauty cock teaser to the power of extreme...

    Day 1, first two hours, 27 years after.

    PS Pictures to follow, next few days unfortunately I'm quite busy with just pain in the ass.

  • officially an item then?

  • Love it - proper heart over head purchase. Chapeau to you sir - enjoy!

    J.

  • A monumental one!
