New bike
Well not so new now as i picked her up last wednesday and have ridden her everyday in the rain, oh yeah- all weather biker
I was at the Martin, the scotch and southport on that wednesday, i went with Jimmy Tanko who has obv seen it, think i spotted CupidStunt at the scotch too but wasn't sure after a year off from riding.
Anywho, she's lovely, rides great and pulls like a train, not to mention.....probably very reliable unlike my money pit bike.

Cheers Dave
That Mike at southport super bikes has always been anything but useful so i bought from Bennets and got a much better deal.
Between Mike and John (of Bantam John BSA spares) they probably equal Thatcher in the least likely people to ever be sent a christmas card to, proper arrogant and ignorant the pair of them.

looking forward to seeing that R9T i love em ….quite surprised you have splashed out on one , they are normally a second or third bike in the garage , so it will be great to see your feedback for everyday use

Re: New bike
after the issues with my benelli last year i couldn't hack spending another 12 months in a car everyday. The bike is great!! The only quibble is the distinct lack of a fuel gauge, i get avg mpg, avg mph and a low fuel warning light but no notice of what i actually have in it?? Also has a slow filler which makes looking into the tank nigh on impossible.Dave wrote:yeah mikes a tad pushy ..hes been around a long long time , when superbikes move he's only doing another year then retiringrumpoldstilskin wrote:Cheers Dave

I need to get her washed and ACF50'd soon then its possibly an exhaust mod, custom seat and adjustable rear sets, engine crash bars and TPS guard as they are exposed, a set of panniers so i can go for a weekend to france etc
Maybe, just maybe, a 6" rear rim when money allows in a few years as shes a keeper.

Re: New bike
Shes 6th bike in the garage but my daily runner, machines aren't meant to be sat about laid up imho, its only money at the end of the day, i could be spending it smoking or boozing which is also a massive waste and i'm pretty sure the depreciation on the R9T will be much less than a 20 a day habit
