Hi John,
Sorry for the late reply, just got my bike back from the dealer and been out all weekend on it to check the clutch is fixed, which it definitely is. Turned out to be a blocked oil jet in the clutch, unlikely to be a common problem, just one of those glitches with a new bike I guess. Also but the KTM heated grips fitted, getting a bit nippy over here.
My parents live near Valencia/Murcia, it's a lot more built up and concentrated then London though which is mostly suburbs. It's fine in town now it has cooled down a bit. I love Spain, sometimes rent a bike over there and ride around Murcia, hoping to ride down there next year. Might never come back:P
Just spent the weekend riding out of town down the M4, across to Marlow, Henley, Reading, then over the Chilterns down lots of nice twisty B roads, Wendover, Bucks, right the way over to Luton then back into town on the M1!
Cheers
Phil
