Insurance company: *rubs greedy little hands together* OK, let me just run that through the system...

You know the rest.

MMMM, ok, I'll not change it back...... we all know the rest,

But sir, according to recent studies, red has less molecular particles than black, so, that means you can ride faster with all this loss of weight.....

say no more

Took this while I searched for the battery the 1st time. (Found it, bl**dy stupid, me!)

And as soon as i find a USB cable for my phone, more to come including a couple of questions.

I ride 'enthusiastically' it's the fun way.

no-shot

That's a view I'm all too familiar with!

If you've already got an Optimate lead for your battery, one of these should do for your phone:

Thanks Luddite, lol, I'm beginning to see the underside of the plastic too now

I have an Optimate, so this will be a good idea.

So I got my ECU back from Niel @ Cornerspeed and here's the 'naked' form, just waiting for my baby to warm up. Brrr, it's a bit chilly & it took 28 minutes to warm up to the correct temp.
I'll be teaching it tomorrow (Saturday) how the ECU's suppose to work ;-)

Back in the day I turned my 1100s to carbon from white. I sent forms in and wrote multi so they wrote back and said if you use the term Custom is ok. That way it is acceptable to them. I presume Mart64 still has that on log book as he painted my spare aluminium hydro dipped panels to a matt grey blue.

Hi, well, I got my ECU back from Niels...... Jeez, what a bloody difference. I'm glad I took Chris_P's advice. Money very well spent. I could go into detail how it's made a difference but I won't bore you all.
My Duke has now gone from my equal fav bike (out of likes of Jota, Lemons I & II and a CBR600RR) to my no. one top fav.

Nice one Bob, really pleased your Monster is now your fave bike

and you could bever bore us on the difference it has made

Thanks Chris for the original suggestion for Niel.
I even got a 14 tooth sm sprocket but not fitted yet. I honestly don't think the extra low down revs would benefit my style of 'enthusiastic progressional riding bent'.
Top end atm is a speed limit ban of 3 figures (allegedly) Wasn't me officer, sir. So no rev limiter bouncing will be accidently encouraged at town speeds. (tongue firmly placed in a cheek) ;-)
