Cycle World breakdown of the 2014 SL’s 1199 spec. I’d forgotten just how super exotic the motor and bike is....

Are you calling me council? How very dare you

Nasty buggers then, I’m claiming self defence.

Thanks @Monners for helping disassemble the airbox and check for remains.
That’s me - thankful it was a seagul rather than goose. I hit it coming out of the last corner and thought it had bounced off, so I carried right...
