The guy at work who has it passed his bike test, bought the CBR600, had it
a
month and got bored with it, bought the 'blade, got bored with that and
then
bought the R1. He's only been riding 8 months!

I'm just tempted by the 'blade as it would probably do me for what I would
like to do without having to "upgrade" ... remember that one
by-product of
maturity is knowing that the volume control goes both ways and the throttle
has more positions that "open"!

*grin*

Anyway ... now that I've got a new battery for the laptop I'm a happy bunny
there now!
