just thought I'd post some pics of yesterday's ride did just over 80 miles down to Riders in Bridgewater and back, nice and steady on the way then a blast on the way back. excellent weather...and no bugs which is the great thing about this time of year!

this bandit is still surprising me...I'm so used to riding the 600 that the torque of this one scares me! if I flick my wrist in any gear, even top, it surges off and really does have some incredible power! after today's spirited blast I think I'll hold on to this for a while...it's got a hell of an engine in it and is easily as quick as most sportsbikes (according to reviews anyway...I'm not good enough to try for myself lol).

anyway here are the pics...the bonnie is the father-in-law's loving the polished rims on the bandit's wheels in the sun, and the chrome bits really look great - just a pity my phone pics don't do it justice!
