Oooohh, It's lurvley

Only I can show you a picture cos I haven't installed my new phone's
software yet either but the XT is a joy to behold.

So I've got to "run it in" but already it feels better an although I
take a backward glance at the R1, I can't really say I'm going to miss
it (that much).

It's lush. Light, flickable and with decent sticky tyres on it should be
a blast.

I don't think 600 miles 'till next Saturday is going to pose too many
problems.

Adios, I'm off out an may be some time...

You bought it? After all you told me you didn't like about it and you
still went out and bought it? There is just no understanding some
folks.

Have fun.

 

**** that didnt last long, what was wrong with it ?

 

Boyos today eh!

Probably couldn't handle the power

 

Just wait...

What's more blasty about it than your R1? It's only about a 3rd of the
power with a similar weight. Going by the pics I saw of your R1, I thought
*that* was lush.

Unless you bin it.... No, don't.

Have fun dude.

You're on of those cunts that believes everything they read, I suppose.

Listen, it's at *least* 20% quicker through traffic, it can actually be
revved, it's light, easily more maneuverable than the R1, it's tall and
goo looking (just like me ;o)) an with a 15ltr tank, it's one 160 miles
now and the petrol light still hasn't come on (5ltr reserve).

It's fucking comfy, too.

It was lush but just too much for the day-to-day riding I do.

Well you're a fucking little ray of sunshine, aincha.

Guilty as charged m'lud

You look like goo? Man goo? What kind of goo?

Good stuff. I only get about 90-100 miles on my shitty SV before the fekkin
light, um lights.

A deffo plus. Again, my SV hurts after 100 miles so the tank range is
obviosly engineered to give the aching buttox a rest.

If most of your riding is around town, I see where you're comming from.

Well, I do try ;-)

Any photos yet?

Deja vu?

Oh,. an IDGAF, if I catch 'em, they'll have me to deal with.

End of.

 

Hmmm, quite nice-ish. How long before you can give it the beans?

I have followed you in London traffic, going slow so that I can keep up
at *full* frottle, I shudder to think how hard the brakes will be
working at 20% up on your normal speed.

You wait till you are on unrestricted right hand.

 

I saw someone on a MT-03 this morning.

 

Bulb fucked ?

 

In uk.rec.motorcycles, scruttocks belched forth and ejected the

That did occur to me.

I'm going to fill it up before going out on it again today.

 

I quite fancy an MT-01, but people would point and laugh.

 

good point, well made.

Heh, I had to push the K12 off the A102 because of that poxy light, at
least it was rush hour so I was able to keep up with the cars.

 

You about tomorrow?

In fact, **** it, anyone up for a 'FOT

Big singles seem to use absolutely ****-all petrol even if you rev the tits
off them. Mine, while not that big, does 110 miles to a tank, which isn't
bad when the tank only takes £7.50 of petrol

I'd have one of those.

You don't strike me as the sort of person WGAFF *what* other people
think.

You surprise me.
