Well, there is are at least 2 Panigales on my daily commute, I regularly see a filthy red one and sometimes see a white one too.

But that must live at one end of a 100 mile motorway from his office which is located at the top of a slip road? It's never even seen a corner...

Not too exciting compared to some but I'm excited as I've just bought a new toy.


Now just need to sell my old GS500E

The Panigale at today's Silverstone Sunday Service, to which this rear wheel was attached, looked lovely.

I don't think we can award more than 4/10 for rear tyre usage however !

How is that even possible?

Maybe it's only ever been on a dyno since the tyre was new and then taken to the Sunday service in a van

Genuinely can't see how it's possible that that has actually been ridden, although in fairness it seems that quite a lot of panigales have similar issues!

Its easily done, as I mentioned earlier my friend is a new rider, he has done 4000 miles on some new tyres and they are brand new on the outer thirds of the tyre but bald in the middle third, he's enjoying it though.

That Pannigale could do with a set of Avon Roadrunners..

Blizzard Rally 1989, Somewhere west of Aberdeen, can't remember the name of the place now, but it was so cold that the thunderbird wine in the waterbottle of the pillion on the Yam Vigaro froze solid


Stopping for petrol in Inverness on the way back from the rally

I hate to be a pedant, but that model of ZXR750 (L/M) was not out until 1993. Enclosed headlight GSXR was from 1991 on I believe too. That's not 1989. Great photo all the same
