Cheers guys much appreciated, as some may know i have been away in Spain @ Almeria. Four days of track fun.
Except, the bike decided to play up from the get go, i must have taken on and off the fairings at least 15 times over the course of three days. Obviously day four was went it truly let go. Long and the short as i dont want to think about it anymore..... Head Gasket gone, good know what damage inside.... So thats the end of that chapter. At least my close call did not end with me on the deck. Home safe and sound.
Did ride various other machines offered, including a brand new 1000 gixer which was nice. Home now and chill'n.
Oh and i was presented with a birthday cake last night lol.... so not all bad.
