Not to mention that the bike hadn't been serviced since 2004 (although it had only done 4K since then), so that would have meant an immediate and expensive trip to the workshop.

Right! Now I'm off to ebay to try to find some Helibars and a pair of carbon airtubes as a "settling in" present for the Supersonic Canary II (Supersonic Canary I was my yellow turbocharged SWB 280ZX).
