    Finally got the 500 miles done in between the snow, etc.. Booked in for its 1st service at 8:45am on Friday. Supposed to be a nice day so have taken the whole day off and will take a ride somewhere. Can't wait, have been straying up to 5,000 rpm and fed up now of being limited.

    Also, as an aside, I've not had a bike before with traction control, quite shocked how easy it kicks in on road mode.

    Cheers!

    The TC does cut in very quickly when you give it a bit of oomph.
    Enjoy the weather on Friday

    FFS don't test anything whilst you're waiting!

    Heh heh, that's me burnt out for the foreseeable future cash wise, plus I'll never get a 4th bike by the missus.....

    I have a 2013 Bonnie which I got to lightly modify and which I service myself. I also have a 1985 Honda GB500tt which I restored and have had for 18 years now.
