Hi #1, It got the thumbs up today, we went out for a short run and although Pat doesn't sit as high as on DR not so BIG and it does't have the same suspension travel, she found it quite comfy, but she said that she wouldn't want to tour the Alps on it......as we did a couple of years back on the DR. The performance is quite acceptable and gets up to 80mph on overtakes with ease, but the wind blast was a bit of a shock.
So it will be used on classic events and the TC rally.

Are you having a laugh Squirrel?

The quoted section of text shows a bloody huge picture of the bike, as per my original post.

Can i bring up the computer customer service term PICNIC at this point?

Seriously, some sort of filter setting that isn't letting you view images?

Think you might be right Bill cos all I get is, at best, a little red X in a little box. In Daves' original post all I get is "photo 1" and "photo 2". Not even the little red X in the little box  :'(

I'm being victimised I am. It's against my 'uman rights it is!

Dave
Should also have said what a brilliant job you've done again! Don't know how you keep doing it but I have a few ideas. Is it:

a) You have too much spare time on your hands?

b) You have finally retired and now have even more spare time on your hands?

c) Pat does all the work and you take all the credit?

I'm sure that if Suzuki et al produced something like this it would have worldwide appeal, especially in India and the Far East.

Hi Boyd,
a, Too much time......I wish.
b, I have applied for early retirement, but the man says no, early next year if I'm lucky.
c, Now you are joking.....
