    Some of my fastest mates never get thier knee down, Its all about being comfy on the bike :)

    I just bought some textiles for my commute ! Is that game over for me ? next it will be panniers and dare I say a GS or Fuglystrada .... I have noticed a few grey hairs recently, I was discussing fuel economy figures at lunch yesterday and I cant go a night without going for a pee :( Im only 32 :( HELP !

    Always admired the back light on these bikes.

    Steve, are they standard bars? They look quite low in that picture.

    Cheers Ken.
    Yes, I like the back light too.
    It's completely standard at the moment, apart from the cans now.

    Cheers J.
    i fitted them minus baffles as you do.
    When i started the bike up,the alarm on both cars went off!
    I like a loud exhaust, but that was just too loud.
    Baffles in and they are still loud! nice.

    Like the first time I rode the 1098 down the road and all five car alarms went off and I could see the Mrs shaking her head :)

    Gotta love a good V twin ;)

    My 750 used to set off all the Old Fart's Disdain alarms riding through the village. I made them all frown and wag their finger at me.

    On a similar note, last night, on the way home, there was a lad beside me on a new 125R with some kind of custom exhaust on it that appeared to do nothing for his acceleration but was, on the other hand, triggering my own Old Fart's Disdain alarm because the bloody thing didn't have the guts to get away from me and I had to suffer it's racket for a good 2 miles before I became anti social with regard to my pace.
