Out for a couple of hours today. First time I had been out just for the sake of it in months. Loved it.

Best ride of my life! I cannot explain the feeling of taking on these canyons in the middle of a crispy sunny day with virtually nobody else on the road. This will get addictive..

I don't know what the sticker under '899' is supposed to be.

But, well, it appears to be looking up the cooter of a lady with a deformed leg and a hoof for a foot.

Is that a custom lid, Justices? If not, what make and model is it?

Custom painted HJC CL-16. Not the last word in fancy lids, but comfortable on my head and readily available for my painter in China to work his magic on. The air vent on the front decided to take a leave of absence on a high speed run recently. My Oscar Wilde quote on the top is nowincomplete..

Wouldn't touch superbike factory with a barge-pole, heard some horrendous stories - one from a guy on here(?).
May nip to the Kingsley place on the way home from work one day. Sorry but I'm new to the biking world, me and my sister have been to superbike factory to sit on and have a feel of some bikes I fancy purchasing after eventually passing the mod 1/2. They seem quite nice and both of us will most probably purchase from therein the future via finance. They seem to have decent prices too. What's the issue with them? Is it a one off kind of issue?
Sorry, read this over xmas, and did not have time to respond.

I've heard of three stories, one from a close friend, one from on here, and one of my own experience.

First one from a close friend was that of his BMW, it involved poor QA of the bikes - involved the chain coming off on the ride home after picking up the bike. Also, a number of other issues regarding things that were not checked and serviced - brakes and electrics. After-sales was equally poor by all accounts - refused to acknowledge that their service and QA department had made a mistake and missed something. He took it to a 2 man band service in trafford and had to chuck a few ton to fix it (mostly man hours). That was last year, or year before.

Second one on here, was engine failure, and something else. Was a black ZX6R - never heard the end of that story. That was this year.

Third one, my own experience - the bikes appeared to be somewhat man-handled, most have them appeared to have been dropped or sent down the road at some point. Scrapes etc. High miles etc. I was not enamoured with their customer service - they wanted to know my salary details and credit options before even entertaining me. That was last year.

The finance deals appear to be somewhat appealing to get people with low credit onto a bike - but the quality of the bikes appear to be ebay/gumtree buys/ex-track bikes.

However, saying that, they may have improved their game - i've not been down for a while.
