Getting there now

I have just cracked open a cold beer, to try to warm myself up. Spent all day, freezing my ******** off sorting out MOT, Tax, removing and fitting new stickers(thanks Nat), polishing it up, and riding it in between snow showers.

I am now well and truly skint, the new Diablos will have to wait until next month.

I am well pleased with the progress of the bike, I just need to become more familiar with the way it delivers its power, it has a good mid range and the gearbox is first class but I think I will go down a tooth on the front to see if I can get it to pull better in first gear.

My first impression on how it handles is that it feels very long, the low speed handling is poor(I dont think this will be too much of a problem when it is dry)
It seems to almost fall into low speed corners and feels unstable.
I do however need a new Headlight as my headlight is off a Euro model and I had to do the black insulation tape thing so it passed its MOT.
