Re: GT380A
Cheers Paul!
Just been out for a 20 mile ramble around the Matlock area. Bike's running great. So tempting to give it a blast but I resisted the urge and kept it below 4k revs
Lovely sunny day at last but blinking freezing.

Re: GT380A
I'm watching yerno.
Anyway, you lot in cheesy warrington have all got lurgy now, so it would be unfair for the 380 to go there.Proof that four strokes are over complicated
