First date with my spanking new K8

[TimF]

Just rode her home. I could crap on about how it sh!ts on my previous copper '99, but I won't since I know most of you will ride a K8 sooner or later, if you already haven't!

[slowandsteady]

Lucky Barstid.
My favourite colour too........
Bet you have that smile too......the one that doesn't come off.....
Good on you mate. She's beautiful

:-)

[TimF]

thanks for your kind words, much appreciated!

well, 100klms in, i'm still in no position to objectively critique it's good points and bad points. but, i have noticed that it's a lot harder to keep the front down even just smoothly riding to 4.5k rpm from the lights in first gear.

hmm have to see if i can get it run in for one of the upcoming jindys!

[edris]

now thats the shit im talkin about! nice 1 mate! I cant wait to get mine, very nice color too I bet you could just sit down and look at it for hours I know I would :)

[TimF]

haha not wrong! i think some rain is forecast for this weekend, so perhaps i'll install my autocom on the wet days....

i must say the speed for change of direction is fantastic - a massive improvement over my '99 copper.
