Thanks Don – glad my pain has raised a smile
.Your links were worth re-reading too
Just been watching Hutchy’s second win at the 2017 TT (got the highlights taped) after which they announced the deaths of three (3!) riders so far.
Puts it into perspective, doesn’t it…..But watching the TT brings back good memories – they’ve got a camera at Cronk-y-Voddy I see
This video clip really brings home just how quick the E90 is…

I followed a Tesla Model S on the way home yesterday – really quick, quiet and cool-looking….
A bike with no clutch would suit me now, as I’ve torn my UCL and can’t use my left hand for 6-8 weeks!
How on earth did you manage that?
Kissing tarmac!
I tried to overcome the laws of physics but lost
When you’ve scraped your footpeg for well over 10 metres it probably isn’t wise to lean even further into the turn!
Ho hum; you live and learn…..If you fancy doing a direct comparison of a sports bike of the same vintage as your Triumph you’re more then welcome to take the Mille out for a spin.
Thanks Karl, that’s an interesting and tasty offer!
But I’m taking an enforced rest from bikes for the next couple of months, after tearing a ligament while crash testing someone else’s bike!
But when the cast is off ! might take you up on that: I should really see what the sports bike lark is all about!I followed a Tesla Model S on the way home yesterday – really quick, quiet and cool-looking….

Great write up
Never really been tempted by a Harley/Indian.
Thanks Karl,
I can’t have American iron ‘cos of my challenging driveway, but I can now kind of see the attraction. But not as a sole bike – purely as a third pub-outing and occasional blast kind of thing….
Makes me want to get a paint-job on my greyer than grey Explorer
As soon as my mate gets a spray-booth sorted
No, Radar – it was pissing down in the morning so I didn’t attempt the concrete strips: the grass in the middle & sides is a bit overgrown.
Debs needs to get that mower outThe next one is Stroud, so I doubt if I’ll do that one.
Then it’s a more northern one (more your way) on the 31st May but I’ll be driving down from York that day. If I’m home in time I might well see you there if it’s dry.
With such big bikes it’s all about the seat height – just ask me and Ol
. Lowered seat or lowering links: all good as long as you’re not off-roading more than gravel trails….
Sold it to a really good bloke – I think his wife liked our cottage views and the fact that Debs looked after her while Nick and I discussed bikes
. So the three other contenders didn’t stand a chance!Nick texted when he got it home (Clevedon, near Bristol) to say what a great ride it was compared to his Beemer!
Another happy customer!
