Spot on Sharpy,

Mirrors, great, just look through the gap under your elbows.

Tank range, fantastic on the 749R, best range of any bike I have owned.

Bodywork removal, easy, 4 allen bolts, 2 dzus fasteners, total removal time per side about 30 -40 seconds, jesus how fast do some people want the panels to come off !!

Looks, I have never owned a bike that attracts so much attention, there is always a crowd looking at my bike and no negative comments from any of them.How some people say that they are 'ugly' is beyond me but everyone like different things I suppose.

ventured out tonight too. thought about going to Box for a bit of grub, but with the dark visor turned and headed for home.

tipped it into a tightening bend at 80ish on the way home.That used to feel fast.....after my first TD at Cadwell, it seems a bit slow now

Aren't track days just plain evil? :-)
