Bet you can wait to get some serious miles on her... :D

I feel a France trip coming on! Now where did I put those Helibars? Oh yes I just sold them!! :(

Hartside? I dont know if the extra 50 bhp on the 996 will help up there! I will have again to get used to not being able to see over the walls and into the dips etc, Scary!

I am partly blaming Lily for my renewed interest in the 996 because of 2 incidents at Raid the Lakes. One being when I was pottering along that road just after the petrol stop there I was wondering where everyone was and if I had gone on the correct road then I heard what I first assumed to be a Lancaster bomber she came past at a speed of about 80mph quicker than I was doing and made me jump, Lovely! The second was a few hours later following her and Gizmo up to Hartside and listening to those termis. Its funny how such little things have such a big effect. Thanks Lily.

I will be putting some miles on the R as soon as I get my hands on it! Cant wait. :D

Come on Henners sort the list out!

i porter what else did you have done to the suspension? Got back from Portugal on Friday went straight into my garage to check on the bikes and there is a nice little puddle of fork oil under one side of the forks! Am thinking of having the bike set up a little better for my weight and have used Maxton in the past, Whats your thoughts on Kais?

MARTIN H 11-Oct-2005 18:06

That was quick! you are on the ball, hows the weather? It was just breaking when I left the Algarve on Thursday evening.

Hi, sorry for delay.been out the country. Just had stiffer spring fitted and set up for my weight 14st with leathers etc, quick road rides and the odd track day

Sag now down to about 10- 15mm. Is now a firmer ride. Still getting used to it. Im pants at giving feed back. Wont know till ive gone out with the lads for a good blast.
The lads at KAIS seemed to know what they were talking about though. Cost £85 for Ohlins 68 spring and set up and all the coffee you can drink.
