Welcome in Grant, pics and biking history is a big bonus on here, must be a shock have a proper quick bike that does not handle anywhere near the Gixxer's standards

Enjoy the bike and site, oh we do bite; but always help ;)

14b handles very well, i just need to soften it up a little and make it more appropriate for uk roads.
last guy was a little heavier

Welcome in grant, great choice if bike... Wrong side of the Pennines..... I mean Yorkshire...... Im a Lancastrian..... Remember the war if the roses.... We won. :P

Seriously, the 14 b is a great bike, glad you are liking it, and lancashire and Cheshire ain't that far away from Yorkshire ... And you do have some good roads over there.

Phil.... Was that pic taken at cadwell..... When you scared me and Luke by kicking your bike to get it on the paddock stand and we were crapping ourselves thinking if it fell off.... And there was a good chance it would .... It would have taken Luke's bike out...... But you just did.. Kicked it as though that's how you get the 5vy on a violet paddock stand :P
