Psssst,don't tell the wife!!

I have got it a bit dirty riding it. I need to clean two bikes now.

I haven't had time to ride it off road properly, and it needs a proper front tyre on it. Mike says that there's still some bits and bobs to be done as well.

But that won't stop me going out on it tomorrow!

A lane beckons
I’ll come out for an hour

Two hour ride over for 40 mins of wobbling,
You got cabin fever Richard?

 

[mikeyboy]

Tufts, post a time,we can go out,anyone wanting to escape for a bit is welcome

 

[tuftywhite]

14.00. May I suggest meeting at your workshop?

 

[mikeyboy]

That’ll do nicely,we could bumble to a pub, get shiiited, ride back to the workshop and spend 4 days getting forgiven for being wankers



No rozzers round here



I am joking

 

[tuftywhite]

See you then, then.

Always nice to get out! (six of us out this morning)
Think we're likely to be riding over your way next Saturday for the breakfast.

Bike sounds fantastic!!!
If you're going to LDT it I might join you if you want a teammate?

 

[flatdog]

Thats a nice sound.

Tufty…. when's mike going to let you have a go???

Tufts has ridden it plenty
He wasn’t supposed to get it till next year
That vid was my 1st proper go on it(apart from a few goes around the block.tufty may well mention the max recorded speed of the digital speedo)
Was proper slippy today though,
The run past the camera was 2nd gear,the track wasn’t offering much traction,3rd gear would have just been spinning and fishtailing
Also should add the front tyre is a bollixed old Bridgestone so neither of us fancied dumping the bike

 

[tuftywhite]

I don't think the speedometer has been calibrated correctly as neither Mikeyboy nor myself would have reached 101 mph on the public highway.

I may have to have a trip out with my GPS attached to try to judge the correct settings.

Nothing quite like a dam good thrashing

I'd be more than happy for you to join me on the trial.

Next one is at Easter, registration starts soon. Let me know if you want the details.

 

[tuftywhite]

After going out with a gps on the bike, it seems a little re-callibration of the speedo is required as it is over reading by quite a bit.

I'll wait for a nice day when I have plenty of time to try and get it as close as possible. It seems like the high reading of 101 was only around 85 - 90 mph.

Was thinking more about the Edinburgh as a starter . . . . At least it's reasonably local . . . . Would I be OK on the Husky do think?
What are regs re tyres?
