Skins is right, if you have a Paso....you allready have a life. Could you imagine what you would have paid for a Bimota? Were they much different? I think not.

Hi Jomo,
I have a 750 Paso and a DB1SR - both bikes have completely different characters and I don't regret either purchase.
All the best,
Mark

Well I did it in the shed the other night ("The Craig manouvre" that is) & I am very impressed @ how easy it was to Perch "the Mistress". I don't think I will ever get off to put her on the stand again. :cool:

Skins, I hope your recent mirror damage is not the result of you practicing this technique :D

:confused:

Nah, it was contact with a wall on my driveway, as a result of brake failure. I'm not sure exactly why the failure occurred, because the brakes (front) had been good for a few days after I recently replaced the fluid, and after the little accident, they were even better! I think maybe there was a little air left in the system after I replaced the fluid (although I bled the system as carefully as I usually do), which formed into a largish bubble, which then worked it's way into exactly the wrong place (near the master cylinder piston) at the wrong time (me heading down the driveway).

Anyway, I've had expert advice that I should be able to fix the pod with Araldite, so that's not too bad. I haven't tried to do the 'Craig' yet, but I will get around to it. I'm glad to hear it worked for you!

I guess the positive side of this is that it was brake failure down the driveway & not down the highway so maybe it was not the wrong time at all. Araldite is certianly good stuff, I hope La Perla Bianca is mented soon :thumbup:

I hope that Araldite sales aren't boosted by too many failed centre stand manouvres! :oops:
