    why have you choosed the 19/17 setup over the 17/17? I mean in order to put some real sport tyres on.

    Looks like you even kept your toolbox infront of your bash plate on, was that weight handicap imposed on you by the organizers? :rofl

    Because 19"/17" is the best all round size for an Adventure bike and the tyres available. Also, the 17" front makes the bike a little too twitchy/responsive.

    AND......why bother when you can just ride this when you want sport :deal

    Two bikes *and* two sets of leathers to the same track day? I smell a van :deal:lol3
    I'm dead jealous, I grew up not 10 miles from Oulton, still my favourite track :clap:clap

    My 19/17 Woodys should be here soon though, I'll be trying the same thing at Brands.
    Not as well though :cry I've seen the pics of you backing the big girl in :eek1
