I had a go on Perkle's bike. I don't think he intended for me to ride it pretty much all the way there (lol)
Whats your verdict Kwacky? I know you lean towards the 600's so be interested in what you thought with its big brother.

Left it at home.

I'm supposed to be picking up an Abba stand for the SX this evening. I figured it would be too large and heavy for the rucksack.

finally got one of the zxr400 race bikes running, but runs only on full choke and cuts out when given any throttle, think there may be an air leak somewhere!

Hoping there's enough battery life left in the alarm fob to allow me to get home.

It was a struggle this morning to get it to disarm.
