Spotted a rare beast winter commuting today. 1st one I have seen this winter, Lord only knows what it will look like after a few weeks in the salty brine, but fair play to the boy, he's out there and using it.
Shows what I fecking know about Dukes then!!! There was a number followed by the word panigale, the rest was just putting 2 and 2 together inside my lid. Last time I was on on one, was actually when I was getting off it at Graham Hill bend after getting it heroically all wrong on a duke experience day years ago. Whatever engine size it was, it was, fecking loud as well for a commuting run, that would grate on my nerves after a few weeks.
Get out there Jimbo and join the high speed filtering club, that dotted white line between lanes 2 and 3 is specifically for bikes over 998cc only.
Well there is no hope and Bob Hope one of them is still commuting on a grey wet cold winters morning 10 years on, and Bob just checked out of town.
Oh I don't mind that aspect. It's the getting wet / changed 2 times in the morning / killed / wrecking your bike / arrested / points / cold / bike nicked for the fcukers I call employers I don't take to kindly too lol The actual ride is fine lol
yeah! what a bunch of idiots.... all the above i'd gladly do on my own time, but i struggle to get my head round it on work time. a year in Stevenage and a 140 mile daily commute i think destroyed all love for it. really dont want to do it - but it's my only option tbh.
