  7. I was airing on the side of caution with the black one, cause I could have the wheels and sub frame done orange if I wanted, but do like the orange frame ?? Whereby, if I buy the white one and don't like the orange after time, it's too late..... 1st world problems eh ?? :D

  10. Spent the whole weekend on the bike after not getting out much over the 7 month winter. The engine is something else, 3rd gear pick up from 20mph is sublime, and it will then take you towards 100mph.

    Riding it on the road is a bit like taking a tank to a knife fight, but that’s all part of the fun.

  11. Brilliant bikes. If ever I go back on the road it’ll probably be on one of these bad boys.
    Done a few euro track days and Jez McWilliams rocks up on one of these. He developed it. What a hoot watching him instruct on it. He’s on the back wheel half the time....

  15. You banned then, or just lost off road somewhere?? :D
     
  16. No, not banned yet. Just lost the pleasure and desire for road riding. Too many camera's, too much traffic and too fekkin dangerous! I live in South Yorkshire and traffic volume levels are ridiculous.

  17. Rode my dad’s one. Felt it understeered a bit but then he’s got it set up for him and he’s significantly heavier than I. Got to a straight though and it’s gone in an instant. Unbelievable! Only part I wasn’t keen on was the day/night screen that changed under every tree. Very distracting
