Hello again guys and thanks for the welcome, I look forward to meeting the local riders and will persevere in getting used to the bike, I've only done 50miles on it and most of that was riding back from Sheffield to Goole so I guess I haven't really given it a chance!! I did have a little pootle yesterday around the town and up the river bank which did make me smile..... like re-living the stripped Honda 50 days with a couple of mates on... sigh! See you out there? Tony
