Kiwi clearly it's best in the long run. Must be very tough but you are coming out the other side more strongly I'm sure

I like that a lot.

The tail-tidy and rear pegs would have to go, but other than that I can't fault it...looks great.

I'd put rim tape on it.

BLACK rim tape...

Cheers Lad's some very helpful advice.

I take I Friday is a bit worse than other week days.

... worse recently, coming to a head last week where it gave up :( As usual, modern cars don't make life easy so i've had to remove a whole load of other stuff to get at it. Anyway - 3.5hrs later (including pushing it across the site into the garage :D - result - instant start first time. o/ o/ ...

A post would only take out a few inches mate.

Other method is swing out. You might not be allowed a gate that swings out, but who enforces these rules ?????? Answer is nobody they rely on you obeying there bullshit. And I've seen plenty that do.

... if you're lucky, 12.5 points or thereabouts if you're just starting off. Maybe this man was aware of that and didn't feel like giving his money to other wealthy (and mostly corrupt) people, where some of it would eventually makes it's way to the arms trade that plies it's trade & facilitates ...

He gave me some interesting information from an ex Ducati Motogp boss regarding Valentino. And other general chat.

I always loved the T595 shape.

Still no sign of an engine and there are loads of other people looking, which suggests there's a weakness with these.

There was one guy looking who said that he found one but the owner wanted £2,000

I may end up selling the bike as it is in its broken state for someone to repair or break.

Trying to get over spending 2 nights on the lash with my brothers, its bad enough doing 1 day nevermind 2, brill weekend though it was like the good old days just constantly ripping the piss out of each other all night, my son thought it was hilarious !!

Been watching a bit of the women's cycling...tough course they have, but still managing a good pace.

Caught a few other things but nowt special...a boat capsized somewhere....

... a pillion means no V4 Tuono. Much depends on what sportsbike you bought IMHO. Go extreme with the sportsbike means a slightly more laid back other bike. The MT10 ought to be high on the list and Ducati Strretfighter is another option.

Went to a mate's house last night. His wife did some buttermilk friend chicken (amongst other things) I could have eaten the lot, it was delicious.

... or ride half a mile every Sunday to sit and drink your fag-fest latte outside a coffee shop while you discuss Andy Warhol paintings with some other equally vacuous numbnut. Thing'll be 30 years old before it's run in.

... or something. I didn't pay it any mind at the time because I knew it was from you so bona-fide, but it does stick in my mind. (unlike most other things).

... honestly don't watch many movies these days...never really seen much in the way of porn either. Bunch of mates wanted to stick some porn on the other week.....I'm like yeah - I'm gonna sit around with 11 other guys all with hard-ons?? I think not.

I think the S also has full led headlights whereas the std bike doesn't. Don't think there are any other differences.

What's the difference between an 1299S and a stock 1299 Duke ?

Is it just the semi active Ohlins suspension and forged wheels on the S ???? Or are there other differences ?

Just did a quote on a 13 plate Factory.. £2180 from MCE then only one other quote for £8100 !!!

... happy with that, also really happy with the consistency of my pace only 1 mile above a 9 min mile the rest where within 15-20 seconds of each other. Now all I need to do is work out how to do that pace over double the distance......
