I did Ron Haslam school last year. I'd not done a track day before. The guy I was paired up with was faster than I was and before you know it, I was circulating by myself. Eventually (last lap of first session) another instructor saw me and I followed him round. next times I went out with...

I imagine that the mechanics spend most of their time doing very dull routine maintenance so they're probably elated to be doing something more than that! :-)

I started to get worried when I rode my bike without earplugs - a lot of the noise gets drowned with those. Ignorance is bliss but arguably better to know... Be interested to hear what a dealer makes of your bike.

Welcome chum, love the bike. How tall are you - you look a giant in that photo! :-) rgds

Welcome chum; I know everyone else is wondering so I'll ask - exactly how exuberant? :-)

I think if you cancel a direct debit you could face legal issues and may impact your credit rating. Flippin' frustrating tho I grant you. FWIW, NHBC are worse... Maybe we should have a thread for rants where people can get it of their chest... :-)

Would changing also mean changing milometer (and speedo?)? Just curious - thought I'd heard that before

I'm guessing you're not new to racing then... :-)

Confession: It wasn't; I was just in a very dull conference call and was going slightly stir crazy!

That was me!

Re: Is it worth 9k Playing devil's advocate (only you can decide whether it's worth 9k to you): 1) Pillion seat but no pegs? 2) the front (lights and screen) look terrible 3) Not sure about the stickers - do you like them? No idea ho the 761 Crew are. Might want to check to ensure they're not...

Cool. Did you get any extras? I went in there (just before the '17 models were released) to discuss the purchase of a '17 model RR. I ended up talking to a salesman who outlined a few figures and we agreed to discuss more once the '17 bikes were released. Once they had been released, he never...

Agree with that but I wonder why the dealer didn't do that initially

Welcome Adrian! It amazed me show cheap the levers look on a standard S1kRR so I don't blame you for changing them.

Welcome my friend What colour did you get? Is it still standard or have you started making changes already? rgds

Presumably there was a bit more to it than that - how does it deal with when you turn off the power - you don't want the GPS to still get power?

Sheyi, have you connected the GPS to the can bus port on the RHS? Does it work ok (i.e. enough power to keep going)?

Tidy! Was it Mr Miyagi or Yoda who said "don't think, do"? :-) People are incredibly helpful here (once you get to understand their accents - invariably Scotish); I've been loitering for a few months and looking to buy soon, so if people show you the same generosity that they've shown me, you'll...

you probably need to be more specific about which half you'd want... (about 4:15 in but the leadup is always good...) :-)

But the key is the best looking part of the bike! :friendly_wink: Actually, this may sound dumb but it hadn't occurred to me. Now you say it, it's blindingly obvious. Thanks for pointing it out! Rgds
