    It looks like the Supermoto bug's bitten properly. After a couple of
    not-too-nice days commuting into the City on the Pan I took the Husky
    this morning. What a blast...

    However for some strange reason, I - normally Mr
    Keep-the-thing-standard - have started ogling aftermarket parts in
    order to "improve" it. Well, that's at least the reason I'm keeping an
    eye on a race exhaust system on ebay. that, plus I'm ogling a very nice
    carbon fiber airbox cover with a few additional intake holes in it in
    order to get more air into the engine - appearantly a common mod on
    Huskies as they're fairly restricted in order to pass the noise
    regulations...

    Oi Veggie, know a good SM-friendly dyno operator in North
    London/Herts/Essex? After the above mods the carb will need a bit of
    rejetting...

    So far, the bike's been rather grin-inducing - it's rather quick of the
    mark, it filters well even in Central London, the suspension soaks up
    bumps like there's no tomorrow. Plus, I got my first (involuntary)
    stoppie out of the bike, thanks to Mr
    Look-I-can-do-three-point-turns-inna-cage-without-looking. Mind ewe,
    next time I should probably try a *controlled* stoppie for a change...

    That said, I think it wants some fettling on the weekend - it sounds
    and feels like the valves and carb wants doing, especially now that
    I've removed what appeared to be three year's worth of muck from the
    air filter element.
