    Ride it like you stole it!

    I hadn't used my dommie for probably over a month. yesterday i went out the garage to go to work and just decided to take the dommie instead of the twin. I had forgotten how good that wee bike is! Its so light you can fling it about on roundabouts like my C90 i used to have. I do think that the secret is though to ride it like you stole it. Thats the most fun. They really are rather nippy. obviously once the roads get wet i'll not be going so hard with the TKC80s on!

    The other adavantage is that if i use it for a few weeks and then go back to the @ it feels so smooth and refined that i remember why i'm never getting rid of it.

    So the point i'm trying to make is get out on your dommie and ride its nuts off and have fun. Above all, have fun!

    Heheheh...
    Did just that, I've been riding the GS mainly, and then it broke, so I had to go back to the ol' dommie as main transportation for a month and a half.

    Took a bit getting used to the knobs again (both the controls and the TKCs) and it felt a bit boggy and all... That is until the coin dropped, hey wait this thing needs revvin', *downshift* BRROAAAAAA smile!

    The fun in the dommie is the ability to unashamedly run it wide open all the time... Corner? Ok, downshift downshift, spot of brakes, peg it, then tip it into the corner.
