point, but you could read a book, it's that quiet behind the screen at speed. King wanted a shot on the FJR, so we swapped. He said to me, "There's only 1000 miles on my bike, it's not run in yet, so be careful with it." I jumped on his bike and wheelied

By Visordown on 03/08/2010 15:54:18
We’ve had enough of ‘motocross dad’ Now we’re most proud to introduce… SUPERBIKE MUM! She’s tough, she’s feisty, she’s always there for Ben... she’s Mary Spies

of the box was a 'double-bubble' Aero screen (£89.99) that was fitted in seconds and has made the whole motorway 'thing' a far quieter and more pleasurable experience. Next out was a pair of carbon-look frame protectors (£49.99) - I don't exactly know what
