That's sound good.
I don't use mine anywhere near as much as you do yours, but I think I need to have a few extra bits on the policy.
At the moment I'm FC SDP only - no commuting + riding other bikes and limited to 3,000 miles a year.

euan - are you referring to my VFR?!
I used to be an accountant as it happens! The VFR is a cracking road bike - as quick as a 600 in a straight line, reasonably nimble on all but the twistiest of twisties, and takes me and the missus with panniers and top box fully loaded away no problems - perfect for my needs.The TT is for general hooliganism and track days

I also am an accountant.VFR (I had an 800FiW which got written off hence the VTEC) was my first bike, but the more I ride it the more I like it. Very versatile and seems forgiving in that's it's never chucked me off, despite my occasional inadvertent attempt at crashing it.
How is the throttle/fuelling on yours? I don't think mine is the worst of them, but it still periodically gives me grief sometimes.
