surely people should like the idea of using there own bike for what it was actually made for.... i wouldnt like to use someone elses bike, i like spanking my own. even tempted to take the bandit out for at least 1 session of a track day....may do it next summer. and ill make sure i go out with full luggage on I do see your point there Phil, but I`m shit scared of damaging my baby now, especially after finding out what a verry minor off cost the insurance company. You are still right though so I`d have to get over it and use mine. At least then I`ll know what I can do on it on the road.
