    Huge pay rise?? Ha.
    Product knowledge? Yup, I'll give you that one.
    My missus is pretty damn hot (I have to say that..) and I've had the snip (too much info..) so that's that for the kids, I'm too old for all that.
    Good effort.
    Chrome is bang on £100. I may try to work on my boss for a Forum discount, can't promise owt like... but I will ask.
    I'm a biker, a man of the people I like to think. He is a business man. Chalk and cheese to a point..

    Theoretically... but.. and this is a but.. I don't have access to the M/C shop, it's at another unit. We are more tube bending and fabrication welding than for example 3/4/5 axis milling and the like.
    In my old job..... (I was a machinist) yes. But that doesn't help you does it!
    Soz.

    No worries. I often work with CAD and DXF files, but then email them over to others to machine. Flat brackets and the like. We laser cut, fold and bend stuff.

    Just don't like the angle of your feet riding, and just too easy to deck out. Lots of horror stories from stateside, when they actually find a corner and deck them out and grab the road, can be nasty. Was a guy on Triumph FB page, beatiful bike, all hard panniers painted to match, dug in and made a hell of a mess of the bike. Probably a rare occurance, but not for me.

    So no thanks. Look sweet, but I grind my pegs a ridicolous amount, so footboards would be a no go. Should see the grind marks on my TOR's, never mind my pegs !!!!!

    Repeat after me -- It is NOT a gixxer, It is NOT a gixxer, It is NOT a gixxer, It is NOT a gixxer, :D:D:D:D:D

    Ok understand where you are coming from. I guess it is all about personal choice and then tailoring your riding to suite the type of bike you are riding. For me the LT is not for throwing around corners, and is really comfortable for long haul days when touring. I ride the street twin for the twisties......
