Right. Simon Hargreaves is pleased with the material he got from YTC
on this, but now wants to talk to some of the others who responded to
this thread.

The others I had were:
- Mike Fleming: 90k on a Tiger 900
- Andy Pugh (via Mike F): 100+k on an R1 ( could you put my in touch
with Andy, please, Mike?)
- Dodger: 107k on a Gold Wing
- Mark Olson: 80k on an FJR
- Turby: 80k on an FJR, 122k on an ST1100, 90k on an ST1300

If any of you are interested in a conversation about your experiences,
for the use in an article, then please let me know, and I'll hook you
up with Simon H
