Hi Peter... thanks for posting those. I knew I should have put my helmet on 1st.... ! I should have bought a rain suit , youd think I lived in BC the rain its been pouring here. I have about 500kms on it so far and no probs, other than my drivers lic feels endangered. Wish I would have had a chance to do the tour with you and bandito, over here in the bald azz area we dont know what this cornering thing you guys refer to is. Everything here is straight , hense the busa and not a mini bike[aka r1 gsx etc]. sj
