... Only to me but , I guess you know what I'm getting at.. 
Yesterday I had the chance to nip out on my S2 ..the last time it was out was when Chris Kneeshaw borrowed it for EK10 in Ripon
, but due to team rotation this years weapon of choice will be the said S2 .Resplendent in it's original Iron Grey Metallic ..(Green).. It started upon straight away due to E5 and fuel stabiliser.. 
Now the surreal part, once sat upon the beast , I thought sodding 'ell this is small , how did I and Smand travel round Europe, with camping kit on aswell?
Who put the gear lever up there? What turning circle ?
I must say this comes about because my work bike , which I ride everyday for 12 hours is a company issued V strom ( a new one this week as the old one was replaced as it had done 100'000 in 2 and a half years , but it exactly the same ..) so my muscle memory is set to that .. God it was different ..for about 20 mins then .. Yep I remembered ..and Yep it is (S2) better for blatting about ..
