I'm loving it.

Inspired by the weather forecast (impending rain for next 4 or 5 days) I peeled the R1 from its nice warm home & thrashed the pants off it!!!

Here are a few pics for your delectation :D

Fresh from hibernation and a nice cosy spot inside. Blew the tyres up and she started up 1st time... ah lovely.

Some whirlygigs, apologies for the camera phone shot, nowhere for a camera on the bike! Yes that is snow...

Some observations - 100mph+ in 1st gear (private road obviously), why bother with the other 5. Saw some silly speeds today and I am way impressed.

This bike is far too quick for public roads, and it handles as well as the R6. Oh lordy :thumbup

R1AJ, the pics have probably expired, that's why you and I are seeing all of the red x's. He posted this up 3 months ago.

Tax Disc.

We pay for a nice paper disc to use the roads for a year.

A more practical solution would be something like you guys' inspection stickers.
