Cheers Billi. And AP, I may have to take you up on that, as long as you don't mind me being a bit slow! Don't know that many good roads around here.

And thanks for the welcomes again.

Thanks for the welcomes guys!

One thing - Tried posting on some other threads and none have my posts have appeared. Do I need to have paid membership before posting elsewhere, or am I dong something wrong/stupid?

Another vote here for furniture polish on the bike. I like to use plenty of it,so go with the supermarket own brand. Used it on plenty of different cars and bikes. The only issue I have is it making things too damn slippy! Must get some of those rubber pads for my knees on the sides of the tank.

Seen this elsewhere. Seems he didn't put the sidestand up (see when he looks down just before setting off), so the moment he tried to go left off he came. Unlike he sensible Japanese bikes, seems like the Italians don't see the need for kickstand safety switches.

Before the Hornet I had an '89 GPz400S. They were only available in Japan, but the 500 is common over here. That was a nice little bike. Very cheap to run and repair, since I put it back on the road after it having swapped hands a few times after being imported but never really used. Only issue agai...

Ah, forgot to say that! I'm in

Hi all. Came across this board through a post on the Hornet's nest. Own an 02 600 Hornet and would like to get some more use out of it so thought I'd sign up as would love to goon some ride outs.
