Unfortunately I have not yet got anywhere as the battery is playing up on the trumpet so doing the power cycles to reset it all then i'll be off out!

Well, interesting first day as a proper biker. Rode 8 miles down the coast to Tynemouth, filled the tank, dead battery. Balls.

AA come out and jumped me and followed me home, looks like a knackered battery.

So, £140 bike hire and test, £308 insurance, £53 tax and £40 for a new battery so far today. Hope tomorrow's cheaper! Laughing

Riding position is a little aggressive, you're right. Find myself sitting up and taking my right hand off and shaking it to get the feeling back and get rid of a bit of cramp as well. Think that might just be a lack of time on a 'sports' position bike though.

Was thinking of doing the LSL bar conversion to renthals but think I'll leave it a couple of months and see how I get on.

I really wanted the street triple, but at £1500 to £2000 more than my Speed Four I couldn't justify it for a first bike! Next one maybe Wink
