696s?

19-05-2008, 11:00 PM

I've had my 696 over a week now, and I believe CK has one too.

Anyone else picked one up?

Anyone seen one out and about? (not mine or CK's

)

I'm looking forward to seeing another one on the road

btw, I'm at just over 400 miles now.

400 miles eh?

Hope you booked your 1st service in advance to avoid the old....

Mine hasnt been out & about since mid last week

We've been up to our ears in the racing, and am now unable to ride at the moment this week

hopefully I will be on the mend by the weekend

Thanks for the tip. I booked the 600 mile service on collection day, and it was 3 weeks wait then, so now I'm rationing my miles until the 30th.

Still waiting for mine - paid the deposit a couple of months ago knowing I would have bike envy when I pulled up next to one. It's a white 696+ with termis and if im lucky I'll get it at the end of next month! Mmmm!

Glad you lot are enjoying yours!

How are people finding the heat around the legs?

For me: Not a problem at all when moving, but heat builds up quite quickly when stationary. Noticable, when at traffic lights, but not an issue. You'd want to switch the engine off if stationary for a few minutes.

I'll be glad of that heat in the winter - something to warm my hands up!

Got mine last week, just in time for the weekender, baptism of fire n all that.
Love it, just need to put on 300 miles in time for my 1st service in couple weeks, cept that I'm away next week so lets hope weather dry when I get home.

CK & AK · 29-05-2008, 10:09 AM

Nice one Roz - hope the weather is better for your next miles rather than the dire stuff we've had for the last few days!

Cool!

I saw a red one on the photos, assumed it was CK's.

Whose was that? And have we all got red?

Not spotted 'another' out and about yet.

Oh you're just not looking hard enough I've seen three out and about. Yours, Roz's and CK's (without the exhausts and it sounds much much better like that )

It sounded a bit too gruff!

- shame Roz wasnt about for the group pics - missing getting hers in

My bruv spotted one yesterday on the A3 nr Tolworth - so there is another about in this neck of the woods!
Am just cussing now as we are racing this weekend, so cant get out on my bike (again!) I can see me giving myself some pass-outs from racing later this year!
