Will be interesting to see, for me I've probably tried harder on a DD bike than I ever did on a 150hp bike, maybe if I dropped another 10hp I'd try even harder lol

No laughing at my Mong

Thanks for the thoughts guys. I'm still in the 'stay on the 583' frame of mind at the moment, but then I look like an ungrateful little sod for not riding my new bike

Zimbo...it probably doesn't need that much spending, no. I'd just like to get her painted nicely and looking good for next season as well as any minor engine work that wants doing again

The two bikes are very different to ride. I'm sure I was slower on Mong first time out than I am on the 583, but that's probably just down to me having only ridden the little one all year. I'll keep thinking about it!

Still don't think I'm gonna be winning much, scratched or not to be fair!

Tonio...I had ideas for making it look a big shocking....white everything with maybe some pink flowers That may be a bit over the top though
