Charlotte, please tell Alan that's fantastic and I guarantee to get the bike back to him no later than November 2007.

Where did he get it done? Good enough for AK is good enough for me!

Loz, Gary at Automotive & Marine Trimming did the seat - he is in Addlestone, Surrey 01932 845858. He made the base & covered it for Alan, as the tail piece Al had, didnt have a seat base at all.

As to borrowing till Nov 07! Regret you cant mate - it needs to be at the NEC for 10 days or so THIS Nov! (yet another plug for AK, as he has been asked to bring it up to go on the Streetfighter magazine stand).

Any w/end date before then is ok - but caution - I'll borrow your bike & follow you!:P

May be there's a flaw with the bike, to much weight transfer under braking and acceleration.

Kev, you'll get your chance on a 999S next summer, if you like.

I assume it's possible to dial out the worst of any weight transfer issues with the Ohlins suspension? Or is it purely a question of geometry and weight distribution, i.e. nothing can be done?

The 999S is by far the best bike I've ever ridden, it's flawless in comparison to anything else I've had a decent go on - by that isn't saying very much in my case!

Cheers Charlotte. I knew I wouldn't get away with a long term loan

If I can make it up your way one weekend soon I'll let you know asap. Thanks again for the offer! Probably be on my tatty 750Sport though, the 999 is going in its box of straw soon ...

I'll keep Gary in mind, thanks for the heads up!
