    You're not wrong, but with the Duc' it's a bit Marmite i'nit. Mine gave me grief, massive bills and in the end not a small amount of physical pain, but I do miss the old tractor dearly and very few of my mates get why. My Honda's superior in every way, but...

    Yep, know what u mean.

    Dont get fleeced to much come service time as I do it all myself, always have done.

    Ive commuted on my old 748s and 996s before. Bit of a pain at first but u soon get used to it. My 999 was good at commuting and scratching but still had small ish tank range. Only have one Ducati now and thats my trusty old 996. Its a track bike now and I love it. Plenty quick for me to run on T/Ds, although it looses out on the straights I manage to get my fun in the corners.

    The Gsxr is a rocket ship. Love it for what it is. Key in, select gear, engage warp drive, lol. I use that for commuting, I can scratch on it, stick my tank bag on with my back back and shoot off to where I wanna go.

    Catch ya later Dude,

    Bats.

    ha ha, i didnt know you were thinking of getting a blade mate. I have to say now she has been given the Bazzaz Fi treatment she feels a different bike. Much nicer

    Maybe getting a blade, dunno yet. May wait for the new 2012 model. Also waiting on the Ducati 1199, see what that like in the flesh.

    As for the bazzaz, I have been running the ZFi TC on the Gsxr for yonks now as you know. Ive been telling you to sort your fueling out for ages now, whether that be a PC or Bazzaz etc. Just makes the bike nice, as it should be. Its Just a pity now thats sorted youve gone and decked it. Never mind, onwards and upwards.


    On another note,


    Its blinking Brands GP today innit.

    Waiting on my rear shock for the 996 to arrive so couldnt make it. Still the weather looks crap anyhow. Hoping to have the bike sorted for Silverston GP on the 22nd. See what the weather is doing closer to the date. Was gonna ask you if you fancied it but im sure you have other things on your mind?


    Laters potatoes.
