I might get over to Uppingham and blag a go on a FatBob.  They look ace.
See if I can go and embarrass a few sports bikes on the local road there....

You'll only manage that if the riders on Sportsbikes are complete shit. So in actual fact they are embarrassing themselves.

Yeh, that's the point.  99% of sports bike riders haven't got a fucking clue and buy their bike for the image as much as any HD rider does.  I kept up with a GSXR1000 in my friggin X6 on the same road last weekend.  Reckon I could ride round the outside of half of them on a Harley with my chaps 'n' tassels flapping in the breeze....

What made you buy the X6 if it wasn't image then? It's pretty useless at everything else ;-)
