Fantastic, apparently Metrop. has had 3 or 4 other people doing the same thing this month.
Did you take the touring seat as well? or is the standard seat fine??

i think the 1100s might be a little to much to start and hope the 696 last me longer then 1800 miles, and hope more i don't end up eating my words. decided i will order a new one on 09 plate as i'm away for feb and should be there for when i return...i could be an expansive morning tomorrow but well worth it i hope. cheers for all the suggestions and advise.
