Well at long last I took delivery of my new 961 yesterday. I thought the timing had actually turned out to be fortuitous. Great weather and my birthday tomorrow! Like an excited teenager, as soon as I arrived home from the dealers I was straight out on the road, trying hard to keep the revs below 3500. Well would you bloody believe it, one of the fears I expressed at the start of this thread materialised. I'd only gone about ten miles when on a narrow, busy, country road I got a puncture! Thankfully a lovely lady stopped with a tyre compressor so I could pump up the tyre, (my jumping up and down cursing at the side of the road didn't seem to have put her off!) She had to stop alongside me to allow the lead to stretch, all the while controlling the traffic! I had to stop for this to be repeated three times before I reached home, and she followed me all the way. I didn't get her contact details but I just can't thank her enough.So now the bike is sat in my garage on a squashed back tyre, going nowhere! I've contacted the dealer and they are going to pick up the bike at the end of next week. I asked as to how they will remove the rear wheel, but I didn't get an answer about that.
