| bought a new 916 feb 97 (was the dogs at the time)
bought a new 999s april 03, 800 miles in & the little plug which sticks out of the bottom of the fairing about 10/15mm ground off going to hawes in north yorkshire. and yes all, yes all the oil went straight on to the back tyre. luckily there was no left hand bends before i noticed the oil light flicker, or it could have been most definatly curtains for me! & i'm only 12.5 stone. what a liability, those deep sumps are not for me, love the bike's yes, BUT will not get on another with that deep sump design SORRY. The rest of the bike did not have 1 scratch on it. SOLD it Jan 04 and since then its had more silly problems, 1 of which was it's done a couple of subframes and judging by the weight off that ruddy exhaust it will definatly be wanting a few more in later life.
AUG 04 bought a new 1000rr 04 blade, yes it is not a italian stalion but tricked up it is a serious m/cycle which i feel safe on and has not given me 1 problem, and as for power & speed nuff said & mines standard!
