Had my america since april, ran smooth, no problems. Then last thursday it all came to an end when the driver of a Nissan Cabstar decided not to use his brakes! I was riding on the M27, minding my own business, braking to come off the next junction. Imagine my surprise when i looked in my mirrors to see that nice white van coming straight for me. Luckily got away with cuts and bruises, but doesnt look too good for the bike, could be terminal.
If thats the case, it'll be the end of the america story for me

as i'm not a fan of the new ones and think i'll be purchasing a sports bike.
Thanks to all the guys who have given me advice on exhausts, rejetting and sprockets. Maybe one day i'll find myself on the new thunderbird, only time will tell.
