New toy update - miss the low down grunt of the 14 but the triple engine pulls really well and the quick shifter (never thought about them before ) is superb, both up and down. The weight difference makes it so easy to move around the garage etc. But the best bit are the Brembo Stylema calibers -amazing stopping power.54 mpg

the Brembo Stylema calipers
 

100% on both of those...  :onya:

Much as I like Old Skool brutes and low tech bikes, some of the modern kit is brilliant.

Cuz they changed the rules Geoff, I cannot get insurance in the UK without being a resident! MY BIL in Swansea passed away a couple of years ago which is the reason I sold my second 1400 and exported the one I have here. I would dearly love another in the UK to do the odd trip. So would you sell yours to me and keep it under your name with me as another rider!!!! - just kidding!! but what a thought! :whistling:

Notty might not have the room for 2 bikes, but Froudy has got room, you could keep it there Stan, just slip Froudy the odd bottle of JD & he'd be sweet. 
 I'm great at giving away space in other peoples places without their knowledge.  :happy1:
