Have started to organise things for the beast. Starting with a steering damper (really should've sorted ages ago as gets a bit hairy sometimes - too many tank-slappers!), plus a few nicety's such as 'gold' coloured faring bolt kits etc (bling, bling). Damper is a Scott's, bit pricey, but only seems to be 2 dampers on he market for these bikes and it gets good reviews. Having to buy from USA.
Tail tidy is next on list for cosmetics and possibly put a private plate on it just for a laugh.
As for performance / noise / cosmetics, am considering changing exhaust, but only if I can find a 'carbon' or 'carbon look' end can. Plenty of stainless or titanium, but the stock titanium is better looking me thinks!
After these things, it won't matter as budget will be used up and can't afford any more bits for now!

The Outline Plan
The Riders and their Steed:
Zebedee and the ZX12R, Grm and his ZX9, Adam and his Fireblade. Darragh has dropped by the wayside (not joined in now since 2006) and Paudie boy anxiously trying to get his act together!
Going Where?
Into France, through massif C to south (north of Montpellier), remain inland @ 60-100 miles to enjoy foothills fo mountains and into forrests of Provence. Up into the Alps (4th attempt at crossing on highest road usually blocked by snow) into southern Chitzerland. Stelvio / Bormio and if still alive back up into Alps, blast back across France (ensuring to observe all speed limits with due regard and consideration).
The Preparations?
The route is already beginning to take shape. Of course after day 3, it usually gets changed anyway. The Ferry's to France are booked and p;lans are underway to prep the bikes. This year will hopefully include video footage from an 'action camera' on the ZX12R
