Just a bit, actually enjoyed it which I wasn't expecting. The girl that went after me hit a cone on the swerve avoidance......I felt her pain.

Passed Mod 2 this morning, picked up 3 minors along the way but a pass is a pass. Hopefully my new bike shouldn't be far off, insurance company is being nice to me so should have it very soon. ;D

A thunder ace, sweet under estimated bike. totally forget about them all the time. If only..........It's the Cat version, couldn't afford the insurance on a thou ;D Can't wait to ride this on the road, the GN has a new home.....Chap next door is looking for a cheapy bike for his short commute to work, he sold his Fazer a few months back and just wants something cheap to use. Just need to make a withdrawal from the bank and hopefully mid next week she'll be mine.

knew it was the 600, didn't know they had different names, though there were later/earlier versions. learn something new every day!

Yeah the 600 is a Thundercat, it's a nice comfy bike....A bit more powerful than the bikes I was looking at but just couldn't find a CB/GS within a reasonable distance within budget. This bike was brought by a mate as a stop gap a while back, it's been serviced within the last few months, C+S was replaced when serviced. The only known issue is the clutch lever has alot of freeplay, the lever can be pulled halfway before the clutch starts to disengage. I'm guessing it's either a stretched cable or just needs adjusting, the clutch itself doesn't slip or anything it's just the excessive 'travel' on the lever.

The GN left for its new home tonight which left a space......Which has been filled with this; Went out for a little ride, what a lovely bike. Really smooth, happy to poodle around at low speeds and really kicks when revved. I'm a very happy man tonight. ;D
