Wooo Hooooooooo!
:} :} :}
went for a proper blast on Saturday up to Box Hill (from Southampton) with a few mates on 600's. What a great hack that was! Probably the first real long distance blat on the BB since I got it. Previously only used for commuting, touring and fast but straight stuff.
What with trying to sell the Daytona at the moment (on www.purplepup.org) I was quite worried I'd lose the thrills of the lighter more sporty Triumph and its cornering ability. Well I neednt have worried too much, as we had a great time, and I got the pegs down (nearly followed by the back end as it stepped out on a wet corner) and totally grinned ear to ear on every corner. Cool.
Once its my one and only bike, a few tweaks like the 6mm spacer and some nice light cans etc will make it more flickable.
I liked the comment from the guy on the ZXR6 behind me when he said something along the lines of 'blimey for a big bike it goes round corners well! and, do you ever change gear?' to which I replied yes it does, and no i dont need to! Feet like humming bird wings those 600 riders...
Cool, cool ride. Must do it again next weekend.

Ride safe, all :yo:
