Update 12/03/2000 : As you can see I’ve managed to complete more of the new look pages. The decision is stick with relatively simple coding was difficult as I had already prepared a site using lots of Javascript and graphics. However it would mean that many browsers could not see the pages. Defeating the purpose of the site so I’ve decided that any new pages will use the latest coding whilst I’ll keep this site looking the way it is. Content is better than just a nice look isn’t it ?

Anyway, back to the Hayabusa. This week is finally sunny after 2 weeks of storms and I’ve managed to use the Hayabusa a bit more, unfortunately I developed a minor flu ! The first thing I noticed about the Hayabusa after the rain was the instrument panel, I think it had some moisture in it ! It didn’t appear or long as I was riding the bike at the time. Admittedly I did have the cover over it during the rain and didn’t take it off for days ! So more on that later.

I’ve been using only the lower gears lately, as I think I’m getting used to the ‘low’ rpm smoothness. Keeping it in 3rd certainly makes the ride more exciting ! The AVONs have again proved to be a very stable and sticky tyre. The lean angles I’m using are much further than I can remember doing using the other 2 tyres.
