    I love the noise to. Compared to my screaming 600 to the throaty 1000 does sound awesome . I wonder what it will be like with a free flowing filter . Would you get a deeper induction noise ?

    Dan hopefully one day I will find out, I bought the blade as a commuter and track toy but something has happened,

    I have fallen head over heels with it and I dont want to get it dirty and wet I think it'll look lovely on a stand next to the GSXR in my carpeted garage lol

    Yeah I broke my own rule and went out for a spin last night. The universe waited until I was at the turn around point then rained on me so I would spend the maximum amount of time wet, riding on tarmac with a light basting of water, grease and cowshit, topped off by a police car that was more than happy to follow me all the way home for my protection.

    If a police car follows you, the trick is to pull over and stop. If they carry on, you just wait a bit then go on your way. If they stop too, you just pretend you thought they were pulling you over.

    Good advice. The road was so greasy I wasn't too averse to them being there, actually.

    Some people get nervous when followed by police and do things they wouldn't normally do!

    Exactly. I found myself inexplicably keeping to the speed limit.

    You would not believe the things people do when I am behind them 20-25 in a 40 limit, even in a 30 im thinking for god sake please speed up I goit a job to get to or some chicken to eat lol.

    You can tell they are nervous though, if I see a bike I follow it to perv on it if it wanted to piss off I aint gonna catch it, if a biker is wearing all the gear and riding smoothe not liker an idiot in a hoodie and jeans your unlikely to get a tug unless your in Wales but we'll leave that one for another thread 2hats them sheep worriers!!!
