That's just 80 miles a day! Try riding twice as much as that, on the motorway, and you'll start appreciating comfy seats, electric windscreen, heated grips and niced wrap-around fairing.

I know it's not that much really :) Forgot to say, that we then moved to scotland I commuted down on a sunday and back on friday 360 miles each journey :D

It was a bit bonkers, but I loved the bike. You wouldn't believe the number of boy racers who'd try it on. Anyway that beemer looks just the job.

Congrats on the new contract, sounds like you're on the way.

Excuse me for being a Motorbike numpty but....

Why do you need an electric windscreen?

It's not like you need to wind it down to through a ciggy out - is it?

I forgive you because you don't know any better. An electric windscreen allows you to lift it up when you are going on a motorway (thus avoiding the windblast) and to lower it down when you are riding on country roads and want to see ahead of you without the screen gettinf in the way (as it causes a slight distorsion). Also, it allows adjusting for people of different heights (same as height-adjustable seat, also provided on the bike). Once you start using it, you appreciate its usefulness and you never wnat to do without

Me too.

It hurts a tad when you fall off & land on your head sans skidlid... :o

I broke both legs when I was 16 (hit by BIG lorry) but that hasn't stopped me. Biking is a way of life and no risk of accidents or bad weather can change it!!

BI in proud to be a biker mode
