Likewise,one in Peterburglar.

My 999 sailed through its MOT after I attacked the lettering on the can with a Dremel.After grinding out the letters,I polished it all up and nobody is any the wiser.;)

the fast bikes article pitching the 848 against 3 other bikes for their cornering ability is a great 4 page read

shame.

i made it out though, bedford, chelveston, grafham, st neots, bedford.

bike is running as sweet as anything i've ridden in the past 10 years.

bizarrely the missus ok'd the two days at cadwell, so jools, I would've been up for it. work commitments mean it's a no-can-do however.
