Actually, I got a Microsoft Security Essentials (Microsoft's free Anti-Malware) alert - assumed it was a false positive.

Anyway, here are a couple of pics of my recently arrived GTR1400 - I think she is great - I don't remember my old FJ1200 of 20 years ago being so heavy to get on the centre-stand, but then I remember I'm not as strong as I was then!

She was registered June by the dealer, but when I go to ride her on the demo she only had 4 miles on the clock.

Sure is a nice looking bike.

Very nice looking bike, now if you can just get your local council to send a road sweeper out for all that crap on the road! I thought it was straw at first!

Hi fella - nice steed indeed - and.......same colour as mine (edit: no it's not - yours is blue!!) but 4 years newer! Still reeling from cancelling mine the other day......

However - I took a drive out in the car and went to bykebitz in Yateley and purchased some Daytona heated grips - plumbed them all in and they're toasty!

On the downside, I also bought some Heli risers for the bars - same as yours but without the ram ball and 12v socket. Unfortunately, I can't shift one of the hexagon bolts holding the bars in - it's completely rounded off.......fuuuuuuuuuuck!!!!! 

Anyone have an idea to remove the thing? I'm guessing a drill out?  Answers on a post card.....!

Sometimes you can use a torx bit that's a tight fit

Tried a torques bit just now - so tight that i had to hammer it in!!  Thought I'd have it loosened now...... Nope - it's completeley rounded out now. Tried drilling it and bust 3 drill bits..... things made of ceramic?!!  Will have to pop to halfords tomorrow and get more deill bits - or forget fitting the risers and leave it as it is.......which I really dont want to do.

Any other suggestions?  Cheers

Mr flyer, It's to your great credit that you can ride a motorbike at all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Looking at that first picture, you are obviously severely disabled as we can see that your body and feet are nowhere near in line, how the hell you change gear at all is a miracle. Well done to you sir
