You feeling alright today Dave :?
The thoughts and words are exponentially increasing in mass, clogging every orifice, I can let them out half a dozen at a time, but much more than that and an avalanche occurs and it becomes a monster all of its own, beyond my control or comprehension even.
I think it's in everyone's interest that I hold it in, but be warned, it's just like a great big poo...the longer I hold it in, the bigger the explosion when it does come...oh and try my hardest to keep away from the keyboard when slurping the whiskey as this removes all filters, clarity slowly turns to mud and I end up talking even more nonsensical rubbish than normal.

In answer to your question Steve...apart from spending quite a bit of time today pondering over my irresponsible road riding habits and near misses, wondering whether I should give up road riding(well almost), sell the R1, buy an SRAD 750 for track and a Harley to chill on the road...

...Yeah, I'm aright thanks mate.

It's debatable whether anyone considering the purchase of a Hardly is "alright".

Now that's a top box that would make Jompy envious . Much better than dragging your lid around colleague and it potentially getting damaged :clap: ... Like the exhaust BTW :)
