Just back from France, bike behaved it's self no problems didn't miss a beat. Rode right down to and over the new Millau bridge covered over 1400 miles in four days. Weather was crap not what you expect in the south of France but still managed some awsome roads. Very impressed with the Pirelli Diablo Corsas not a slip even in very heavy rain, lost the tyre balance weights front and rear at the first sign of rain didn't seem to upset the bike though ? In all a very good trip. but had to come home for the sun shine:lol::lol:

'kin 'ell :o look at that bridge! I am with you Flanks, I hate heights, coming down off of The Stelvio pass was bad enough for me! You would n't want a sidewind up there.

Welcome back Mark.
