It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!
Only managed just over 100 miles so far but yes FUN, once on the move,getting it off the line is the most awkward ive bike ridden in 30 years,very easy to stall! Apparently Boosterplug cures this,a bit like a power commander ,I'll get to know it better first.winding on from 3rd is quite addictive

well not quiteAttachment 17192Attachment 17192 its called an Accelerator Module, it effectivley tricks the bike into thinking the air is cooler thus getting a richer air/fuel mix and hopefully fixing the jerkey response in first,looking forward to a spin tomorrow

I didn't know you'd had a problem with it.
A richer mixture should 'fatten' the midrange a bit. Maybe at the expense of a bit of top end.
I dislike modern technology on bikes. 'Fly by wire' controls and digital engine management just mean more complexity and dear parts. Important if you want ultimate performance I suppose, but I like things simple. You can't fix a dud chip at the side of the road. Not that you'd have a spare anyway or even know what bit had packed up in any case, without plugging in a diagnostics computer.
I'd be happy still using carburettors, points and condenser on the ignition and cable controls. I'd not want to go back to drum brakes though!
Your bike musings have got me at it, looking at bike sale listings. I'm tempted to get another. I must be mad!

On a down note re bikes My local bike dealer Ian Bell was killed yesterday in race 2 of the side cars at the TT. RIP Ian. He wasn't a close mate but I had known him for several years, chatted bikes over the odd pint with him in local pubs a few times and bought bikes from him. He was married with two kids. His son Carl was the passenger but is OK.
