    Hello everybody. Just picked up new (2009 miles) Thruxton R on Saturday. It could not be less like my old bike Yamaha XT1200 ( except both are parallel 1200 cc twins) but I love it. Rode it home to Belfast via Holyhead Dublin ferry. It rained but i was having a ball. Seriously thinking of Stage 4 raisch tuning kit... any advise?

    That is a wish to far. Pack your waterproofs, cause you will need them. Mind the ride up the west coast is worth it irrespective of the weather....
