    Missing the sun...

    I'm a real light weight nowadays, ride in the sun only and 10 degrees is the lowest I'll go... No fun riding these things in the wet with tiny contact patches, Rain or cold, out comes the car with a Starbucks in the cup holder and Cheryl cole on the stereo... Hardcore!

    Missing the sun...

    Sweet picture, where abouts exactly was that taken? Stelvio Pass is around 1,000 miles from Burton and just a little different to Burton. Anyone got more dramatic pics taken with the Rocket in it?

    Hi buddy, don't listen to anyone that tells you to use a generic polish! For some reason those that no nothing about matte paint feel it appropriate to post nonsense. Matte paint is very different to glossy paint and needs specific care to ensure that the grime and dirt of life in the real world...

    R3R 2014 model Bhp and Torque figures

    Thanks guys Dougl, do you think the power commander is worth the monies? What differences do you think I would notice once installed? I've never really done anything more than exhaust changes on any bike/car I've ever owned. Any idea of the cost here in the UK? Cheers
