No, you're not rambling, i'm just whinging, don't get me wrong? I like the bike and I guess I'll learn to love it? But I paid top money for it and would have been devastated had I originally was gonna buy a brand new one and it had done the same! I like to add subtle mods to bikes to personalize and enhance them, but find it hard to believe they need modifications to make them more rider friendly and road safe?... Just my opinion? Has I say I've not done many miles.... So I guess "Scary Spice" is here to stay!!!! Tony
