Round about 2001 I think. It was a revelation after the previous bike, a Z750 hardtail conversion
Sod riding a hardtail over here

Especially given our crap roads and wet weather

The hard tail was a real experience, mostly good, your arse is so close to the road, but kidneys took a kickin' on a bumpy road. Me and a mate built it when I worked in fabrication. I had it running on Amals, grunty as hell

And leaky, you forgot leaky

The speedometer was pegged out at 130 miles per hour but it was still speeding up a little. A 1969 chevrolet chevelle malibu.

Now I know why there are few survivors on freeway accidents in your respective countries, drive so dang fast to survive crashes

Well the fastest I've crashed was only 60mph, but seeing as I actually hit a crash barrier literally foot first, it did hurt a tad

Nooo! Next thing you'll know, you'll be succumbing to the voices telling you to stay away from tools.

Actually that sums up Ben quite well... strangely corporeal

They have an irritating habit of bouncing back at you as well. Best avoided really
