That nearly happened to me once on the ZX12r,just got the bike out the garage,normal acceleration and the back wheel just came out beneath me but i caught it in time.Just amazed me how little grip tyres have when cold!

Wayne - have a great time.

Don't forget to take it easy for the first few rides - it sure was strange when I got back on a bike a few months ago ..

Looks like a lot of fun smile

Exactly what I did 3 months ago on my Buell. Just got it back at last on Saturday (BTW, Bennets insurance are a nightmare to deal with if you need to claim) - £3.5k of damage from a 10mph fall frown

Oh yes - the TL .. had a test ride on one.. what a weird bike. Hated it. Wooden suspension, funny engine.

The gsxr sounds great but do love the old green bikes, mate has a green bike, so does my brother..
