... 1200S Granturismo V BMW R1200 GS TE OK, I had been looking at a Multistrada at the Manchester bike show and agreed to go for a test ride. But also decided to ride the GS as a comparison. Agreed with the salesman to ride the GS first then come and see him at Ducati. Arrived at BMW 8:30 this ...

Rode down to JHP Ducati after lunch as it brightened up and i felt a bit better. Had a try on of the Ducati jacket i posted up a few weeks ago and also had a demo ride on a Diavel for 30 minutes.

My body position suck, and when I used to get my knee down on the SV, I was also scraping the pegs. Then I lost the front. Think I was too far over really due to bad body position. If you are scraping your pegs, then the only way to go faster round corners would ...

Looks great mate can you have the mirror go over your hand also or do you get better vision that way ?

... see what time she uses it. If she goes over her monthly allowance she has to pay me, no exceptions. Exactly what we did tbh. It does work but we also insisted they didn't take them to bed with them until they were about 16. Then we gave up :D

Im in a slight lull inbetween projects at the minute so it's pretty quiet for a change, won't last long though. So im currently also trying to look busy in the office while really doing virtually FA.

the HD box has a bigger HDD too so you can save even more stuff.

Also, even without sky HD, you still get BBC and ITV HD channels, so you do get some benefit (if you can get yourself a HD TV) and it does make a difference.

... for the SBS dual sintered. They do me fine for road and track. As mentioned above the Dual Carbons have a pain in the neck run in procedure, and also if you want to go back. Plus talking to people who run them at trackdays/racing they take a couple of laps to warm up and dont work too well then ...
