hello

[stuart]

tomcat it took nearly 1 hr for the pain to leave my fingers when i got home yesterday

i learn't about counter steering last yr i'll keep that in mind .

i'm fairly sure the abs works at any speed as when i passed a scrappy on a muddy bit of road & a forklift truck pulled out in front of me i felt the abs come on , i think it might of even saved me as i braked a bit hard .

i'll need to mind to use the back brake in corners if i'm going a bit to fast

i bought the bike without even test driving one

the old thing i'm not happy with is my strength moving the thing out of my hut

i'd say its 50 50 to whether i end up with another hernia moving it

go to the gym or put another door in so you ride thru, I have an almost flat driveway with a slight angle down so I just do a U'y and roll back in to the garage under light brakes. As for that road You would really want to know it well and it is very narrow not sure I would try and ride at the speed (with a bike tyre or a Darkside) of the sports bikes which you have to remember it isn't... it just isn't goning to change direction as fast as them

i'm a gardener & fairly fit but fk the bike is heavy , i just have a 8ft x 8ft hut for my busa & rocket , i have to put the rocket in at a angle or i can't get the door shut

the hut is just of the level , maybe 2 degrees , i have to reverse the bikes in or i'd never get them out !

the road in the video is just the average size about here , some are a lot smaller with passing places .

when you take in to account potholes & gravel you don't have much room for error on them .

or eat lots of haggis & drink lots of irn-bru

To hell with the haggis leave that for the english and the yanks, drink more bru(remember and take the bottle back) or eat some of this stuff it will put some meat on your skinny arse

You don't have to go to the gym - just get on the bike and use it - best portable gym you'll ever find! but not in the snow....

And don't anyone say it's 80degrees and hot where you are just now ....£~'&%$$£**

Scotland looks like a stunningly beautiful country .. understand why some will never leave . Riding a motorcycle through the highlands when the weather allows must be just breathtaking. Safe Roads and stay warm fellas.
