One of these bad boys came flying past yesterday, on the A41 at Brent Cross.

It looked great, I’m not sure what the rider was up-to, seemed to be flaffing around a bit.

But hey, I would love to flaff on one too.

But then again, the day before the new black 1198S came past on the back wheel (got all upset by a two-up Fazer overtaking)

You be the judge, I’m voting for the 1198.

Got the bike back from the dealer after another week, 40 miles down the road… stop for petrol…. pay…. back to bike…. guess what. RAC time

But hey this time (please let it be) they seem to have fixed it! *<:-)

After a huge list of spares replaced under warranty (Confirmed with Yamaha Customer Service, who are very helpful in these situations) it turns out to be a fuel pump relay! $%&^ers.

After weeks of £30 per day train tickets for both of us, its been eye watering.

Anyway its Spring/Summer and all is now well.
