That's what happens when you put a merkin on your head, you end up being mistaken for Rossi

Well, well, well..... ...BIG difference??? ...Come, tell.... knobs n all..... |
not so much of a difference getting to box as there was quite a bit of traffic could feel the bike bite a bit earlier when getting past cars etc, but coming home boy, yes there was a lot off difference, there is a set of lights at the start of a straight that the speed limit goes from 40 to 60, i am usually half way along it before i get to 60, but tonight i opened the throttle and when i looked down i was doing 80, in what seemed like the blink of an i eye.... ooops i slowed right down and took it easy after that, i am by no means scared of speed but it did shake me how quickly i got to that speed. |
And you wanna Blackbird??
Sheesh............................! |
but i can get my leg over

Did you giggle?
Best thing about going from 125 to the Legend was the increase in torque.. made me (really! out loud!) laugh all the time for the first few weeks. Unlikely I'll get much difference on mine if de-restricted and (old and boring) not sure I need/want/could handle it but gotta admit to being a little bit envious of the giggle-thing.... ...don't waste it ...enjoy it whilst its new!! |
yes it did make me giggle .. and shouted dooolally bananas

turned out to be the "general" 40amp relay that supplies power to the feeds for the right & left hand switchgear was only supplying them with around 6v so not enough to click the solenoid especially if you had the lights on
1 new relay later and it starts fine
bit of cleaning up on the wiring loom to do and a new reg/rec as old one is also shagged and we're away
