Grog...lifes incredibly tough sometimes.... decisions decisions :happy1:
Your a martyr Grog - a great M8 - wished I lived nearer could hav helped out - those would. My choice in bikes :)
Diavel or Rocket 3. Hmmm - now that IS a difficult choice.
For me the 14 probably wouldn't get used much....if at all.... :whistling: :stir:

You go and wash your mouth out with soap right now!! Tsk! :facepalm:
Ya lucky ole goat! Good on ya!
Yeah just lucky he trusts me. Ive spent lots of time on his Rocket, love that bike. Only a couple of hrs on Diavel, hard to describe that one. Sort of just goes, stops or corners by just thinking about it. Dont like its instruments, only fault. Rocket is too heavy for parking, got to plan ahead. After couple of weeks on those, getting back on 14 is def no let down.still one of lifes pleasures
Meant to put a piccy in b4,my wife JA and my mate at Mt Carbine, on the road to Cooktown.

Like I said before
@ARH difficult choice "Diavel or Rocket 3" :whistling: :stir:
Obviously mt carbine a closed track. Yawn. That day of pic, mrs jumped on rocket, me on diavel. Bloody thing ran wide on one corner. Had me doubting ducati handling. Corner posted at 80, stupid diavel, just had to try 180. Very true story. Was a fun day.
Great wee story there Grog. 180 into an 80, you're pushing it! 130 no prob, even 150, but 180? :boogie: :cheers:
Col, thats just what Diavels do, you feel like your sitting on a big trail bike, then a reality check, have a ride on one. Yeah was 180. It felt slow after our 220 to 240 previous 10 minutes.
