Good choice!

Grum, What happened to the IXIL?

Sorry Petar, but this seems very dodgy!

Maybe the dealer should/did report it!

I now have my second set of Roadsmart 3s, front and back. They give great mileage and so far have performed well. I guess a track day would be the final test. They do well in the sports touring comparisons, but I have seen comments that say the quality can be a bit variable. Not noticed in my sets.

Sounds like it IS a stolen bike!

Rossi on the Duke KO'd Stoner on the Honda one year, in poor conditions, with a similar rebuff in the pits. There is no doubt that MM is a fantastic bike rider, but he does seem to do quite a few dumb things. He must be penalised because it might kill someone, but it is hard to imagine it changing him. It seems to be in his DNA. It certainly looks like we are in for an exciting year.

Adprom, Great photos. A road I have travelled a few times while heading to the MotoGP. We are lucky in this land. This is a stop at Dead Horse one year. Ausplanglish, A lot of typing in that and I think my beard is about as grey as yours!

I rode my 8th Gen across Australia and back, last October. 10,000 kms. Mostly 500 to 600 km days, with a couple of 800km days thrown in. The bike was great. I would do the trip again tomorrow, if possible. I am closer to 70 than 60, so the body is a bit worn out. The bike has standard pegs, bars etc, with the lower seat. Comfort on the Viffer is probably a function of stature. I am only 5'7" or 1.7m. Yep, a short arse!

Doesn't seem to be anything to do with counter steering. More like grabbing a fist full of brake in a moment of panic and setting up a tank slapper. He was already counter steering through the previous bends, to ride the road. Counter steering is a subconscious action for most motorcyclists, letting go of the brake when a f--k--g big truck is coming at you might require a more conscious action. I hope he got out of it and got back on the horse.

It wasn't intended to be negative or directed to anyone. It was just a comment about the concept. I have to apologise if that was the way it came across. Lesson learnt, time to can it!
