    I have acquired a graceful and polite '98 R-Reg Suzuki GSF 600 from
    Mr. Muck.

    Oooh, it's very nice.

    How long till we get your first tale of woe?
    I hope the bad luck went with the old bike.

    upright.

    I think it's always sad to see something you've owned and cared for
    go. I was sad to see the ER-5 go, but
    I went on motorways up until Ashform (M20 Junction 10) and then went
    home via the A20 and then took a side road on to the tail end of the
    B2068 before driving over M20 Junction 11. The ER-5 was 49bhp and
    this Bandit is 80bhp out of the box with the stock exhaust.

    Did I tell you how nice the exhaust sounds?

  10. You have to admit though that the scenario was all too plausible.

  11. Using the patented Mavis Beacon "Hunt&Peck" Technique, BGN
    Are you going to re-sticker it in the way you said you would when you
    got one?

    Well done. I was thinking of venturing out down your neck of the woods
    this morning.

    Fancy a ride out and are you any quicker on the Bandit?

    I didn't park it over the driveway. I was very careful not to.

    Not very practical, but if it's something you
    A few strands of that silver coloured wool have escaped out of the end
    after a 90 mile drive home but that's about it.

    My bro (the fool) just bought one and it's crap. Too small to go anywhere in
    ANY comfort, too big to fit in the boot of a car, too noisy for good
    neighbourly relations and no power. A bit like a fat pushbike with a giant
    clacker in the back wheel.

    Is there any way you can prevent the chrome from turning into rust
    without making it look dull and greasy? I have nothing against chrome
    on a bike, but it's a shame when it turns into rust.
    Is the removable baffle needed? 'coz it's under the seat now.

    I think that if one passes the standard license test first time around
    one doesn't worry about power too much. However, from the people I've
    spoken to, if one passes the 33bhp restricted test like I originally
    did, but then go on to re-take the test for the full power license
    then one can never have too much power.

    Which bike next?
