    As is customary.

    Now, shall I run a book on how long it takes to go bang?

    The bike. The mrs has, as usual, capitulated to the extent of helping me
    collect it.

    I managed to have an RGV for years without it going bang.

    I find the best thing is not to actually ride it, and just start the
    engine for a few minutes every 2 or 3 months.

    how easy is yours to kick-start? I was always amazed how easy my one
    fired up.

    ah, so you've put it in your .sig before you've even picked it up.
    Hmm.

    I'd never have pegged you for a net-kkopp, etc.

    I was thinking more along the lines of "tempting fate" etc.

    It's a twin, so half as long as a single naturally.

    Isn't this the sort of post one prints and presents at an opportune
    moment?

    About four kicks from cold. First kick when warm.

    **** me, what a wonderful toy. Absolutely gutless bottom end as
    expected, usable from around 7 or 8k but something truly magical happens
    at 10k when the last valve opens. What a sound! Went past that bike
    dealer on the A40 (Triumph, Harley, I forget which) on the way back and
    every single head turned.

    Something not quite right in the rolling parts, bit of grinding going on
    at low speed, so I'll have the wheels out and check the bearings etc,
    but the handling's absolutely sublime.

    I think I have a new favourite toy.

    yeah, I'd probably prefer to ride your RGV than your bird.
