..........Over this very sunny, bike riding weekend, Em and myself got quite a few spirited miles in and made the most of life Wink

...Me on the 6R (the more comfortable weapon of choice) and Em, as always on a SB6 (big bore in this instance). The 6 developed a misfire so we swapped bikes so I could check it out. No problem you might think and I would initially agree as I love riding the big bore ,so much so, I've bought another set of big pistons to treat another SB6, but I digress...........

....As I said, i love riding the Big Bore but never gave it a thought that Mrs Oily had never ridden the 6R before......I'd selfishly kept that secret to myself.
Now she tells me that she prefers the 6R to the 6 Shocked

...It handles better, it has smoother power delivery, it's more comfortable etc. etc.
...She now knows that I wasn't being chivalrous when I always say that I'll take the fighter so she can enjoy the 6 Crying or Very sad

...I suppose now, it's double the fun, swapping bikes half way Laughing

...Oh...the misfire...just a bit of crap in the carbs, not a problem if you keep the throttle pinned Laughing

(that's the advantage with more than two cylinders Laughing

)

dude, Em's welcome to a run on the 999 if she wishes, why? because I would just love to see your face when she tells you she'd like one too! I could see one fitting in just lovely in your man cave!
