this was the first decent ride on the gtr1400 since the bad weather. it was very pleasant today, and the sun was shinning. the gtr1400 handles very good indeed, did not realize I was banking the bike over so much. did not seem to put that much effort in either! the chicken strips have now gone! this is a very nice and easy bike to ride. heading into the bends it gives you so much confidence. never experience this before on a full tourer. infact it seems, you dont need to but as much affort into the turns as on the zzr1400. excellent machine thou! 10 out of 10 Mr kawasaki!
p.s sorry can not make sunday the 13th at the ponderosa, been invited to a house warming party and may not be in any fit state! but will go on sunday the 19th if any ones up for it!

I'm next off work, 15th to 17th March before I start my night shifts, weather permitting I'll head out that way. I've never been to the Ponderosa.
