Get yourself and your Connie over to London, become a Uk Despatch rider for 6 months, you'll learn everything you need to know about handling, comfort, speed, getting your knee down, defensive riding, maintenance, how to stay warm, insurance claims, tyres, Volvos and the UK's free medical system. did it for 20 years and had no problems keeping up with my 'mates' on thier GSX-R's and Ninjas and me on a Stock Connie. many comments about how good a rider I must be to make that old bus shift and corner so well, other comments about how I must be Nucking Futs, was something of a star until I made the mistake of letting one of my friends ride the Connie, then my cover was blown!
Austria only has 8 million people and its full of mountains. I love it here
