    Wotcha! Pleasant for me too.
    Yep, I shall endeavour to do so. Properly, this time.

    Get thee to Millets, and insist upon being over-tented.

    I regret to inform you that while you are being over-tented I shall be
    under-camped.

    I do have a tent, only it's a large, elderly igloo type that's a bit
    fiddly to put up. I may well invest in a smaller one.

    Heh. Unless, of course, the PR's as inept as me at identifying bikes,
    in which case the effort may be wasted...

    Pip Luscher fumbled, fiddled and fingered:
    Mine very quickly developed a duff radiator and pissed oil everywhere,
    admittedly only a trickle but a trickle smears all over the place at
    speed.

    Plus it was a major hassle getting Suzuki to replace it under warranty.
    I know from experience that Kawasaki would NOT have quibbled.
    Only really a prob with the 1100 on left handers when two up, the side
    stand bracket would dig into the tarmac, and of course being a sports
    bike it was a PITA to adjust the rear suspension quickly.
    From what I've read here and in the press it appears that Suzuki GB have
    not gotten anymore customer friendly over the years either with regard
    to warranty claims. Makes me wonder if the factory know what's being
    done in their name 'cos generally speaking the Japanese are very keen on
    customer service/satisfaction.

    It also taught me not to have a bike with white wheels unless it had
    shaft drive :)
    After years of Beemer ownership I'm getting a small niggling voice in
    the back of my mind whispering ZX12R :D
