    Handles well, but frankly doesn't go as well as some of my earlier bikes.

    You'll notice I got the optional fake dirt on the tyres. :)

    Mark,
    when i got my M3 they threw in a BMW bike with all the bells and whistles, and i actually only wanted the BMW skateboard.

    BTW got to drive a new Audi RS4 today, kills the M3 hands down, and its a 4 door

    What brand is the bike? Carbon fibre?

    That lump of metal behind it isn't bad either. ;)

    What a coincidence, I saw the first B7 RS4 in Perth today - the press/demo car. The salesman told me they have sold 3 so far, but none have been delivered yet.

    Nice car!

    Bike is Specialized. Not CF, though that would be a good idea.


    I saw the RS4 on the road in Sydney a couple of weeks ago. It looks damn hot with the big wheels and brakes etc. Best thing from Audi I've seen - well, best with 4 doors that is. ;)

    not going back down the "dark side" again are we ???

    while talking about the dark side, I saw a strange sight yesterday on the way to Cunningham's Gap near Warwick, about 30 Jags and not a tow truck in sight!!!

    Must have been an abberation as there were some E types amongst them and they were actually moving on their own power, wonders will never cease :D

    im finding the stock pedals on most specialized bikes are too small for my feet.

    You may find that you have issues with them.

    I changed the standard pedals with clips to a larger regular style pedal. They are plenty big enough now.
