More of a comphy bed and and electricity kind of guy I take it - bit like me then. But you guys enjoy your nights under the stars - glad I'm on nights!

Yep my old body and Joints dont do camping. Tried it, even tried a caravan still could not walk the next day. I could make it up on Sunday, already committed on Saturday.

Just back from a road trip with my Wife, last tuesday went Edinburgh, Perth, A93 and stayed at Abyone plan was to do C ocK bridge, Elgin, Truiff, and back to Aboyne on Wednesday but my Wife will not start Bike ride if it is already raining so just had to spend the day at the Spa instead. Thursday went via Stonehaven and A92, Tay bridge, Edinburgh and home.

Colros

will see how the test ride on the fiddich bike goes here, but it sounds like he has the bike setup the way i would want mine to be setup if i bought one. Sunday im headin back to glasgow so if you fancy a wee spin out give us a shout and im sure we can organise a place to meet up. :041: and when you get to glasgow i can make a brew and im sure i can wip up a bacon sandwich or something like that.

If, if, what do you mean if..........its the only sensible buy mate.:bounce016:

Last time i sat on one properly with the idea of thinking hmmm see what this feels like was 2 years ago and i had the XTR at the time with raiser links and didnt find the Z felt much difference to the XTR with my mods on.....so if not a Z possibly an older R with mods and spare monies to get it the way i want it:icon_geek:

I dont think you will find much difference between the R and the Z.

Major stuff unchanged, seat a bit different and sits a bit higher, bigger fuel tank, I perfer the style, twin discs but still not great stopping.

Engine managment a lot smoother, although I have put a K&N in instead of just replacing with the Yam one and it just ever so slightly hunting a very low speed.

But as usual I think it is each to their own, :tongue[1]:

Let me know your planned route back and I will see where a meet would be possible.

:weathermanf4[1]: I left the guys building an ark on high ground this evening. Sh.t happens.

We survived!

I'll put some photos up latr

GULG you might have survived but i near didnt on the way home, detoured back to glasgow via fortwilliam as ive never been there, on the A82 nice wee road had about 3 crazied rabbit just sit in the middle of the road around a corner trying to play chicken with me!!!! they chickened out though!!!

Any who, charger for my laptop broke on sunday and only just got a replacement one today at �60 bloody squids......not cheap. But quickly as im at work, test ride on a tenere was a sucess:thumbsup[1]: so watch out tenere owners as i will be trying to talks yous all in to selling me your bike for the right price (aka cheap as!!) :smilies1349:
