Y2k � They look great, but way out of my price range at the mo� Thanks anyway


Pleiades � V good point about the DRLs fitted to everything nowadays � I hadn�t considered that at all� Maybe one solution could be to revert to some old school yellow lighting � then you�d stand out much more in the sea of white/blue without having to resort to Schnidely's solution and turn off the lights entirely!


GULG � I don�t think I�ll be blocking the AIS, the snap, crackle and pop is part of the character of the bike that I just can�t do without! It never fails to amuse me! Thanks also for the tips, some of them I already do � I spend my life covering the brakes and 90% of the time aim for slow, steady and smooth though I must admit that every now and then it�s nice to open her up a bit! Strange though how both my incidents occurred when riding what I thought to be safely � sometimes the unexpected just comes out and bites you on the ass! You live and learn I suppose! I do quite a lot of �what if�ing and tend to talk myself through everything that�s happening inside my lid� (It�d be interesting to record myself one of these days� maybe I�d learn a lot!) I must admit, going left is something I hardly ever consider, though may cause issue down here in London cos there�s invariably some pizza delivery guy sneaking his way up the inside! I think I�m gonna treat myself to some IAMs training after xmas is out of the way�


Thanks again everyone!
