I’ve been reading the owner’s (213 pages…) manual - blimey, that takes some studying!
Every other page in owner’s manuals seem to warn you of impending injury or death if you don’t read the next page in the owner’s manual properly …
Too right! It’s one warning after another! 
If you didn’t know that riding a motorcycle was fun and just read a manual first you’d not go near one

I’d be terrified to even look at one! 
And the bike will arrive with almost as many warning stickers on it, so make sure you have a hairdryer to hand

As far as I could tell most are already taken off, so that would be a bonus!

Great bikes - really comfortable and powerful. Ive got Rally Explorer and so far can not fault. Enjoy the bike - they are a hoot.

One fantastic piece of equipment that you never knew you that youd love - tha blind spot radar. Absolutely superb, every bike should have this as standard…

I’ve had 2 Explorer’s in the past and I’m test riding the new one this Saturday.

I’ll bet you can’t wait, Wim. I once had a 150 bhp ZZR 1100, and I can imagine what that much power would feel like on an adventure bike. Be careful, you’ll feel invincible!

Yep, getting very impatient, Dave. I got word today that the licenseplate number is registered, and that I can probably take delivery on Saturday. I’ll have to be careful - it is very fast very quickly! I’m used to a lot of buffeting on my speed triple, behind the screen that is nearly absent…
