Thanks,now that's all I can see! Impressed with this though. Quite nippy when poked and the smart cruise control is fantastic on a motorway run

It didn't do anything, but I like to think it impressed the gurlies.

I bet you were fighting them off with a big stick.

It was a very attractive bike...

You can just make out the mach meter to the left of the instrument cluster.

Very nice.

Those gurlies must have been falling over themselves to get on that comfy looking pillion.

Today I got up at 5:30am to take my Subaru out to the other side of Glasgow to be used in a Bollywood movie, we were there for 14 hours.
It was pretty dull but the food was great, lots of curry by the on site catering.

Those Ioniqs seem to be becoming very popular with the cabbies around Bristol. Is that 75.6mpg on petrol?

Went to a mate's new house and generally lowered the tone a bit.
As I was leaving he jokingly said I had to be careful not to draw any attention from the neighbours so I eased out of the driveway and then powered down the street and around the corner at full throttle with loads of wheel spin because I'm nothing if not a child.

I also bought a Triumph Acclaim exhaust. The only place that seems to stock them is a seller in Germany, the exhaust is made in Italy for a Japanese car built in the UK...

IMASAF? They do a load of classic stuff.

I don't know how it calculates it but it is on petrol quite a lot on long journeys,town driving it uses the electric more but a slight bit too much throttle will engage tye petrol engine. I think the electric motor is mainly assist and occasionally run type of set up but overall I'm bloody impressed. It's not exactly slow either.

Just thinking about heading off to the Bristol classic car show anyone else going ? Don't expect any pictures as I left my camera at home and my crappy phone is shit for pictures.
