the MV ain't a dirt-tracker ?? bloody hell, aren't these bikes meant to be able to do *anything* ??
sounds like you had a really *phat* time ya lucky barstage......was Slapper on this trip ??
the guys on this test were Matho, Matt (Shields, dep ed), Ralph who used to be a riding instructor (fark he can ride a bit
) and Greg who makes quinns leathers and used to be one of the bike testers for revs - remember that mag. he has also done a fair bit of racing and - cop this, over 3 *Million* road k's 
what do they say about old age and experience. oh and some fat bastage (who wasnt disgraced
)one of the most memorable rides was yesterday arvo after the photo shoot. ralph mick and matt had about 1 min lead on me when i pulled out, i could just see them *over the crest* of hills some times. i knocked it back 20 untill i could see greg catching and then wound it back on. I was on the 10, my favorite bike and he was on the MV, his favorite. this is the long term test bike that AMCN has and greg - cause he does lots of k's has the task of "putting 2 years of use into 6 months" - will be the custodian and write the progress reports.
let me just say we were travelling along quite well - engines singing in the "fun zone". that was a *very* memorable ride. it would have been about 30 odd k's of nirvana. Gos, think "run to cathcart" (after the mountains) for 30 k's
