Good to hear you are the mend, and no doubt you are looking forward to getting on the new bike.
Here in the UK it's very rarely warm enough to stupidly ride in only a 'T' shirt and shorts, but you do see the odd idiot ocassionally.
I follow the rule 'ATGATT', no matter what the distance...
We are now nearly into July and it seems a lot of roads have not been repaired following the winter period.
Even down here on the South Coast there's some pretty awful roads, but fortunately I only ride for pleasure these days.
There's only just over 5,000 miles on my 2006 model and the head...
I got the stainless Scorpions a few months ago and also fitted a de-cat pipe (emissions test is not part of the M.O.T at the moment).
The cat gave off so much heat and a horrible smell from the exhaust, I decided to get rid of it. I still have it in the garage in case they decide to bring...

I'd been looking some new end cans and quite liked the Scorpion for price but the dealers here in the UK told me that delivery can sometimes be long.
I found a Yorkshire company called the Carbon Can Co. and gave them a call.
They quoted me under £400 for a pair of carbon cans plus all the...
