Can you ship a motorcycle without registration out of the UK ? Ok this morning I'm willing to make a deal...I promise not to dirty anyone's threads and keep my shit to my things...if you remove the post limits ? Has a bonus...with my heavy connections to the biker world Ill be willing to take you on has a lone wolf prospect...and just maybe let you be my FB friend again...do you know who ive been chatting with since sturgis ? Who knows I just might introduce her to you maybe...lol...yes I made 3 new FB friends over this trip... Got to ask....is this marcel character kinda of and internet star in the UK ? That Hildo looking guy from England looked at me kinda funny when I introduce myself at the bar where we were having super ? Here's and interesting video..a little long..but it kinda explains how long native Americans have been living here in New-Brunswick...Basically has soon has the glaciers melt away... @Buckster...I find history fascinating...

After now having done a longer trip on the bike here's some brief findings... It's got stacks of torque, makes it very easy on single carriageway A roads, towns and twisties, pulls like a train tips into bends like it's reading your mind, it's effortless, on rails, no wobbles and feels like cheating On bigger roads such as dual carriageways I don't like it much at all, high frequency vibes through the pegs and seat (not a huge issue) the throttle grip spring is too strong, makes your hand hurt trying to sustain a constant speed for long periods, it's also far far far too sensitive the tiniest of movement will cause the bike to slow and speed up making it feel like the fuelling is very bad on rougher roads, especially around 65 mph/4,000 rpm, I'm fairly sure it's not fueling as if I concentrate on locking my hand position it goes away It's nice to have aftermarket exhausts for some street cred, but on long journeys the drone is tiring and a nuisance, adding to rider fatigue This is a new one for me, I'm 5'7" (and a half ) and 12 stone dripping wet, so with the adjustable seat set to the middle position I'm finding my legs too cramped and it was causing knee pain, on a good note and can get both feet flat on the ground, I've only every been able to do that on my V-Max, ridiculously I may have to raise the seat for my loft 5'7" (and a half ) height but then the bars are going to be lower than I'd like and it already has bar risers fitted. I can get 58mpg if I ride at a steady 65mph which is good Over all it's a fun bike to ride through the twisties, puts a shit eating grin on your face but commuting or long distance is very disappointingly tiring and strained and I think I would most certainly opt for the car to do that If I can't fix these things I will most likley offload the bike and get something like an NC700/750 or a cruiser (yes I know I take the piss but I do like them really), I found my V-Max very comfy and solid even in the worst of side winds, just it's pathetic tank capacity and thirsty engine makes it impractical for anything but posing and drag racing, oh and putting me in a wheelchair for 2 months lol, I don't need all the power/torque of the CBF, even on my 400 scooter nobody overtook me except for the flat out hooners. The bike is heavy, oddly heavy in that wheeling it around is hazardous, I never had that issue with my Caponord (but that was 23 years ago) but there aint bugger all I can do about it's weight Maybe, a set of original end cans, one of those throttle cruise control things (not really cruise control, just a plastic grip thingy), also changing the cogs might help, 1st and 2nd gear are almost redundant, so perhaps a smaller front and larger rear might make it more relaxed riding PIC for attention

We used to laugh at Pete when he used to ask about the weight of any bike , but that's me now as well. I really struggle to move a heavy bike around. It's fine when you're riding but manoeuvring it around is fraught at times. I can't believe how I used to throw my KTM 950 around but that sure wouldn't be happening nowadays

Obviously shipped it over for some looooooooong straight roads , coz that thing ain't gonna be much cop in the bends
