Love the hand gesture to the DH in the BMW to ask him to move back to somewhere near his side of the road.... I do exactly the same...Excellent video... Safe riding

I got a 996 about a month ago after a decade of irregular riding on sports/tourer bikes, I just got it running right after the last owner messed up the suspension and fueling. Now it's even getting me lifting my bum and hanging out a bit, I turn 60 at Chrstmas so that was a surprise.

That raw sound. It is quite something.

How long can you ride it for? Thinking of getting one but the posture seems pretty extreme

The ride is fairly uncompromising, as to be expected. Continuous road surface quality you quickly become very aware of and long for after perhaps 200 miles in a day. Wearing leather trousers helps with wrist fatigue as you can grip the tank far better than jeans. It's how it makes you feel at the end of the day. Answer: perhaps knackered but honoured to own it
