If your gonna use one for the road,don,t come into corners in second gear.I just learnt the hard way.They compression lockup like a big twin.Soft landing but lesson learned.

stuffed rhs fairing,scratched nosecone and flattened out can.Not much really.With the taller 190/55 tyre i thought i was in 3rd but i was in second.Coming around a flip flop i braked as i hit a bump and the rear just skipped for about 30metres.I pulled the clutch in but it didn,t stop it, so sideways i gradually made my way to the side of the road and probably went onto its side at about 5-10km/hr.I,ve landed in bed harder.Took me a while to figure out what happened.as my brain said the rear was locked so i didn,t squeeze the front brake as hard as i should to stop sooner.oh yeah looking where you don,t want to go doesn,t help.All the classic mistakes.The bike will be pulled down for a while now anyway,just added to the to do list.

Ouch you won't have been running a bit hot there Glen were you Confused

I have a spare RHS Copper fairing if you need a loan of one

It will make you bike look nice at the same time Scary
