Last bike was a ZX6R.Sold it 6 years ago. As you can gather, I was always fond of 'giant killers'!

I find now though, that to use a bike as I'd like to, I'd end up either banned or damaged, what with speed bumps, speed cameras, helicopters in Wales etc. And of course, Mr Sunday Driver.
So now I try to convince myself that a soft-top is more comfortable in summer as I don't need helmet and leathers. And the air-con is lovely.

Nope, doesn't work, that argument, does it?
Well the M3 was a soft top w/hardtop so that argument didn't work for me anyhow

There's no difference now from when you were riding last apart from obviously the speed camera numbers but do you get them in Rural areas so much?

you get them from time to time here in the south but hardly any on the known biker roads
