    Hi Chris

    im afraid i dont know of any clubs in the Strathclyde area (been having a quick look myself) best thing i can suggest is taking a run down to largs on a sat or sunday afternoon, pull up and have a chat with all the guys that are there friendly bunch ya know ….. oh and ya cant miss them always about 20 – 30 bikes in the carpark on the waterfront

    maybe see ya there ….. so long as ya dont laugh at my L plates [:)]

    yeah i like the sound of the Kawasaki GPZ500 and nice and easy to get spares for them to i believe, well went to the bike school today [:(] looks like its going to cost between £300 – £500 to get through my test, well it looks like the good lady is just going to have to starve for a while to come up with the money [:D]

    thanks imp

    well to be honest as its my first bike i dont really have much to compare it to but i must admit it is a very smooth ride and very nippy around the town figure thats coz its a light bike and im only 9.5 stone , only done a few longish runs on it cause of the weather here in bonny scotland and i have found that if am doing top speed yeah ok dont laugh 65mph for to long when i stop the engine splutters and sometimes cuts out i figure its just starting to overheat?? also a problem someone may know the answer to is one of my mirrors likes to move itself in the ball joint when i go over a bump, gets very annoying having to straighten it all the time and i cant see any way to prevent it from happening but all in all nice bike and high mpg lucky if i put £5 in the tank every fortnight[:)]
