Advantages: It makes you smile (a lot) Disadvantages: When you cane it the petrol really disappears !
...of having a criminal record as per the recent cases highlighted in Motorcycle News – if you get caught and you don’t happen to have the good fortune to be an international footballer that is !
The one I am thinking of basically got a slap on the wrist yet was also p1ssed when caught at twice the national speed limit in his flash car.
Sorry – rant mode off ! Anyway, no-one can really use all of that performance on the road………can they ?
For tyre freaks, and I know there a surprising number of rear tyre/rubber fetishists out there, the back is shod with a 190 section tyre – all I can say is -
