Hello gocytocis, welcome.
Lots of good info here, and just because sometimes we I don't know what we're I'm talking about, you shouldn't be put off.
I'm one of the more sensible ones here, and often find it a full time job trying to keep the nonsense to a minimum.
Nice bike too, btw.
Me 109, ducking for cover.

Haha, well I certainly don't carry a lot of credentials myself.
I am not a mechanic, but I am proud to say that I have NEVER taken a bike to the shop for repairs before. Somehow I've always managed to get back on the road myself with minimal hand tools and a shop manual, oh and yea, a lot of blood, sweat & tears!

Tell us about the unique experience of riding a "Toaster" as compared to a "standard."

Haha, well I certainly didn't mean to offend anyone with my first thread! Just to be safe, henceforth I shall cease any reference to a Triumph as a "Bathtub", a Harley as a "Batwing", and a Suzuki as a "Gixxer"!
