hey folks, After a bit of digging I finally bought my 2010 XJ6 ABS ... unfortunately I had to get it near Dartford but at least I got to know it on the drive back to Edinburgh ;D About to post the first of my silly questions! Be safe Attachments:

Very pretty - don't they sell bikes nearer to where you live  ? |

Hehe wish they had ... was a bit of a hike.
Had seen a few bikes on line but any nearer were pretty poor deals. On the plus side it was a good excuse for a day out on the bike ;D

So how was the comfort on such a long trip as you do not sound to be typing in a high voice from being scwoshed up for a long time?

Comfort was surprisingly good.
Had planned to leave Dartford 0930 ish and have a number of extended stops on the way up, still getting back in daylight.
Plan went to rat sh*t and ended up leaving at 1130 leading to more of a cannonball run ride with (I think) 3 rapid fuel/toilet stops - as it was getting dark I chose to follow the A1 into Edinburgh rather than the shortcut up the A68(?) ... added 40 miles or so.
At the last stop I did have a slight moment putting my foot down and having to remind it that it needed to support my weight! I think the Divi riding position helped alot as it allowed me to shift in the seat a bit without affecting the weigth on the bars much.
