I really like my Superduke, but if your looking for top end speed you will be disapointed, if you looking for alot of grunt through the twisty roads and alot of torque its awesome
plus a total different seating posistion over sports bikes
good luck with your shopping
bike show next week at excel in london

Not really is it!! I was knocked off at Cadwell in August last year.
Will let you know as and when we get round to booking Cadwell.
San should be up for it too, it'll most likely be in August so he won't have any excuses!

Hope you walked away from it okay. I bet you had a few choice words for the other party!
Sounds good, will be there

Other party (who was [ir]responsible for the accident) got a free ride in a helicopter, he was in a very bad way.
Not heard anything from him though for either an apology or offer of financial assistance.

As long as I don't get home in the summer and find my bike has become a heap of rust!

I need to sell my VFR which I couldn't get rid of last Autumn, having left it too late in the year to sell.
Also need to sort out a screen for my K13GT luxobarge that does not deafen me
so I can actually enjoy riding it at over 75mph
Need to get the BM in for a recall fix to something important in the rear suspension - surprisingly it's the first thing to have gone wrong with the bike.
I shall then continue to lose weight and wonder why I bothered to sell the Viffer and buy a touring bike in the first place .........
Other than that it is just about finding time to ride the damn bike - snow/ice in winter and excessive beancounting in the summer is not conducive to riding

All summer free for biking.
If only life were that straightforward.

I know. Let's hope.
Maybe I should sell and get a 2nd hand 1098S.

Are you putting it back together yourself?
