The Stalker !
i picked my moments, i have leaned off the 1st 5% throttle movement via a remap and got the full beans at above that .. still did well above 1XX in a lot of occasions , but the roads are quite twisty.Wow, 178miles on a tank, must have been taking it pretty easy . . it is the UK though, not much chance of opening it's lungs without some copper coming down hard on you I guess.
Those yellow license plates are frickin' hideous!
Nice pics, great looking bike!
I hear ya !a thursday morning ride out is safer than when all the weekend warriors come out to play
yes they are many riders have small plates but that risks a £100 fine and i prefer to ride without the police running me down every time i go outThose yellow license plates are frickin' hideous!

I've noticed a lot more pics of the bee lately and I thought I seen a post where you said something about a phone so does this mean that you finally had to upgrade away from that flip phone and are using a smartphone (stupidphone)??I got out for a bit of an early ride this morning before the crazy heat sets in....(over 100'F today and a poor air advisory due to the wild fires out west). The beastie was running in true form, perfectly as usual...
The river was perfectly calm with zero wind this morning...
BTW-I didn't see the old sign post until I got home and looked at the picture.....

.....very good memory...I've noticed a lot more pics of the bee lately and I thought I seen a post where you said something about a phone so does this mean that you finally had to upgrade away from that flip phone and are using a smartphone (stupidphone)??
We definitely enjoy the increase of pics and looks like the Bumblebee enjoys posing for them just as much. I figured at some point they'd make you upgrade to one after the guy in our shop that had a flip phone and didn't want a new one was finally made to have to get one......very good memory...
Yes niner domestic insisted I upgrade.....now I have a new fancy phone and don't have to drag a camera with me....
Now I am able to bore all of you with pictures of the Bumblebee beastie...

What a great job you got yourself there mate , the best cherry picking deal opportunies , way to go !!!!I took my new acquisition for a ride today . . . 2010 Suzuki SVF650 Gladius full power version.
A guy came into work today and asked the manager if he wanted to buy his bike, desperate times for him, no job, no money, baby on the way, so . . . . the manager called me and asked me if I wanted it, I took one look at it and asked how much, I couldn't pay him fast enough lol!The legals all checked out ok, no finance owing etc.
The registration has lapsed and the tyres are bald, but the kms, oh the kms!
It only has 12,000kms on it and it's a 2010 model, mint condition one owner from new.
I'm gonna make it right and sell it on for a tidy profit.
He gave me the original unmarked muffler, tail light and rear guard.
It has handle bar grip heaters fitted, nice little carbon shorty muffler and a vented seat cover.
Nice huh?

Sad story of how you got it-poor fellow being as desperate as he was/is....but opportunity knocks in odd ways-good for you...I took my new acquisition for a ride today . . . 2010 Suzuki SVF650 Gladius full power version.

Don't get me wrong, I still miss the simplicity of the old flip phone and it is still in my closet just in case....this phone being the same as the boss lady's is pretty high tech and unfortunately she knows it's capabilities so I can't feign phone issues to get out of anything anymore.....We definitely enjoy the increase of pics and looks like the Bumblebee enjoys posing for them just as much.

You make me giggle mate... you can find your way around a war-zone.... but smart phones? Not so muchDon't get me wrong, I still miss the simplicity of the old flip phone and it is still in my closet just in case....this phone being the same as the boss lady's is pretty high tech and unfortunately she knows it's capabilities so I can't feign phone issues to get out of anything anymore.....
The other day my daughter in law involved me in a multi-text and I thought I was just responding to her when actually I was responding to multiple recipients....and they were responding back...it was confusing as heck.
When I take pictures, I still break out the patch cord and down-load them onto the computer....I think I have internet and can probably access this site via the phone but that is for another day...baby steps for now.
The worse part of it all is the wife thinks I need to be in constant contact at all times now...You make me giggle mate... you can find your way around a war-zone.... but smart phones? Not so much
And you haven't realised she installed a tracker in your phone... Lol....The worse part of it all is the wife thinks I need to be in constant contact at all times now...
Most times I don't even know where the phone is-and it's gonna stay like that.
Certainly does look quiet....and the countryside looks like it does here...
