I thought there might be a variation if there were radial brakes or is that just fancy wheels ?
For the avoidance of doubt and for the benefit of my wife, not everything I may say here will be absolutely true I may on ocassion embellish a little for effect.
That said when it comes to motorbikes, I like to ride side saddle with a nice frock

The radial braked ones are different (well the front is) but almost all of the radial braked bikes were RSVRs and RSVR Factories

B@ST@RD!
Rub it in why don't you.
Been in Japan 4 nights and 2 of them I've not slept for a single minute. Worst jet-lag ever.
Seem to have picked up a fairly aggressive cold and sore throat too so I'm really not happy. Hope I get some kip tonight - I fly back tomorrow night.
Maybe I'll have to try sitting at the back with you if that assists the sleeping process

I had a lovely nights sleep last night

Let's face it, you wouldn't go to a nurse to get good advice on a problem with a Falco - you'd choose an Engineer or a mechanic...

must admit pete I have been feeling very well resed evn though have had some nights where my sleep was a little restless maybe its because I spend more time on my bike or in my bed than in the airport :smt017

Never mind the hat!

Can anybody ever imagine Andy sleeping quietly at the back?

I don't think so.

(try a large double strength Horlicks).

He did but maybe you missed it as it was less than a full page of reminiscing about rally car exploits

Says the bloke who has made an average of more than 5 posts a day, since joining in Jan 2007, (for a total of 11,600).
This is despite the fact he spends much time out of the country.
Me, I also joined in Jan 2007, (when we moved over from the old site), and have 3382 posts.

Then again, where would we be without the wisdom of the great Methuselah?
He has been such a great help to so many people over the years.
