my first thought as I attempted to stop it half a mile after setting off was... "Oh my god, what have I bought...?" 80 miles or so later and I'm fairly happy. I had forgotten just how bad 23 year old brakes are, how heavy SOBs are around town, remembering to rev the engine slightly as it doesn't quite tick over. trying to work out how to cancel the indicators without putting the opposite one on, trying to adjust the mirrors so I could see cos I had to lean so far forward to adjust them I had to guess where behind was, the weave as old tyres move over white lines. It was a joy on the motorway, turbo kicking in when needed and although I took it easy it wasn't hard to shuffle round the bends and the odd bit of traffic closer to home. Its now home and sat on the drive. I managed to get it onto the centre stand. whether I'll ever get it off it again is another matter. -- Adie (replace spam with nickname to reply) UKRM FAQ: http://www.ukrm.net/faq/ keeper of the ukrm faq for my sins YZF-R1 : ZX9R E1 : GPz 750 turbo MRO#11 BOTAFOF#7 BOTAFOT#130 DIAABTCOD#17 MIB#24 YTC#16 BOB#15 ex-UKRMMA#22 BOMB#11

I finished on site early due to a snag and looked at getting over. Just not practical, would have needed to get to Liverpool docks by 18:15 as the last flight was away.
bloody hell, they won too Fozzy is on that ferry so a lift at the other end wouldn't be an issue. -- Adie (replace spam with nickname to reply) UKRM FAQ: http://www.ukrm.net/faq/ keeper of the ukrm faq for my sins YZF-R1 : ZX9R E1 : GPz 750 turbo MRO#11 BOTAFOF#7 BOTAFOT#130 DIAABTCOD#17 MIB#24 YTC#16 BOB#15 ex-UKRMMA#22 BOMB#11
