... lane and you get some twat at the front who is going straight ahead, even though there's another lane for that and his one will run out 10 m after the intersection. Mean while there's a line of traffic that now can't turn left on the green arrow!

Yes quite a bit. Handles better, mid range is about 1k higher in rev range but quicker after that. Bit smoother, more economical.

I might sell the 748 in a couple of years and buy a s/h Panigale. Should be cheap enough then.

Stripped my helmet and washed it thoroughly, found loads of flies and a wasp stuck in my air intake on top of the lid!! Then cleaned my leathers. All sparkly clean now after the Exmoor trip

It would mean riding down Thursday after work, so coming into work in my one piece leathers and an overnight bag might give the game away

Do you not have a car? Have your stuff in the boot and bring a sleeping bag

... "this is going to hurt" as my helmet smashed into the ground and then being surprised when it didn't! I'll probably buy another Shoei after that. It felt like I was sliding forever and at the time I would have sworn the engine was revving its tits off for ages which is why I've jumped ...

... with pigs on a line, dripping blood all over my back.....Yuk! Getting the hairs burnt off, then gutted and all the bits hanging out...and truck after truck arriving with the live ones. No way in a million years would I do this job :( Went in with whites, came out with red polkadots jacket. And ...

Finally got the the calliper bolts off, well the local garage did after several failed attempts and hours of swearing. Fairly sure this front tyre and the brake pads are the originals from 6 years ago, so probably the first time they've been taken off and ...

At risk of making this thread sound repetitive, progress towards that Degree would be my suggestion fwiw.: ...

Dull and boring ride into work today.

I spent the journey trying to decide if I should get a new rear tyre before I go to France or after. The jury is undecided but before seems to be winning at present.

I'll sort out some more ride outs after France.

... just gets so boring, plus it was getting cold and I tend to feel warmer riding this roads, rather than sitting on the motorways getting fed up and after a while doing obscene speeds lol....
