If you hit the translate function in your browser it describes the screen as 'Wind Armour'.

My wife needs that if I eat a lot of cheese (which is a bit ironic and something I didn't consider when choosing this silly username)

Am I going to ride it if the weather is crap, yes, though it will mean tedious hours of cleaning afterwards

I considered it with mine,but I wanted a dry first run,so it was delivered in a van.

As it turned out,it was nearly a week later I actually got to ride it. :roll:

The shop is the other side of Ipswich to me, so it's either the mean streets of Ipswich or round the A14 from there to home, the A14 is probably a lot easier and less dangerous as it's not full of pot holes.

It'll be the first time I've ridden a bike made in the last 15 years

I'll look forward to reading the review over my coffee in the morning.
Hold on, you missed an opportunity.
I'll look forward to reading the review over my coffee in the morning. Which was flown in from Nicaragua by my private yet, after being freshly pressed from the thighs of virgins high in the hills who are only allowed to shit coffee beans twice a century.

I'm supposed to be working but I can't concentrate on work, I can't believe how excited and nervous I am about picking it up, a bike that doesn't need a good going over before I ride it, I haven't bought one of those since 2003, that was also a Suzuki 750

This afternoon I leap forwards 30 years in steel framed 750 4 cylinder motorcycles

Just a couple of hours to go.

Get out of work early and go lick the showroom window for an hour. 8-)

WFH today, so I'm tempted, my wife is dropping me off down there, might get her to take me an hour early, then again I could walk there in an hour, don't think I will though.

I better hang about though just in case something at work goes tits up
