Only lurk on facebook.

What's the benefit of using blog rather than forum?

The blog section is a dedicated area which has a lot more scope for editing text, adding pictures, formatting and that kind of thing.

Mild panic stations here !

Off to Cartagena soon, bike drop off is 15th Feb and the bike is in bits !

New tank to fit, airbox junked, battery to relocate, lots of fiddly shite to sort, then belts and valves to sort before it goes on the dyno.

New bodywork to fit.

Wiring looks like left over spaghetti and Kev is getting regular e mails asking which colour wire does what !

All in the hope of losing a bit of weight, but it looks like the only weight loss is me, from worry !

Pretty good Miles
Gaining 2 bhp is like loosing around 6kg
as optimum power to weight is roughly 2.9kg/bhp
