That is not good idea when in reality you can rid of them in a car park doing 10klm turns by leaning against the bike, gets you plenty of lean angle

I just hope to own an overpriced Ducati one day, a triumph triple, a ZX7RR, a Binelli (can't explain why) an Aprilla SVX 450 or 550 (might need 2 based on reliability) an old original Z750, an SP2... the list goes on. None of them would ever be ridden the way the maker intended, but they would be ridden, enjoyed and admired

Im Still a bit undecided on the last 1 though..I don't think riding around on a panigale is a overly smart idea for some of these ego trippers something about ambitions & capabilities marrying up..Most Super Sports in the hands of the inexperienced generally end in tears. Regardless if they can afford them..This bloke might be really cautious.. although I'm guessing the former.

Hmmm fixed it....... In my mind I thought I wrote mid to high.......:-)

I did say consistent 38s there was a 36.9 in there as well.
Happy now pedantic peps....... I'm tipping this bike wasn't at super stock spec ethier well into Aus Superbike spec with the list of modifications he told me he had on it.
