One factor you're not bringing to the party Mick, is the decades of experience you've gained from riding wobbly framed Brit bikes from the 60's/70's. If you can nail a pre unit Triumph in the bends with an 'instant whip' frame, then anything built in the last 20 years is going to feel like it's on rails ;) lOl

Always amazes me that given Eriks obsession with triangulation, he seemed to have overlooked this one tube missing from the early frames.......almost a case of ''bollox, we forgot that bit in the jig, never mind, tis too late now, lets see if anyone notices'' ??

Obviously, it works fine in the plane it needs to but watch an early bike ticking over and you can actually see this part flexing :?

99 onwards (H-D money) saw this 'oversight' rectified 8-)

You're not wrong Adam.
Besides, at £17 a tankful, £200 buys me a whole lot of Wallowing. ;) lOl
