Had a run out on the v4 streetfighter today and popped into the new superbike factory shop at Donington. Was surprised how many bikes they had in there, loads
Yes it is, I was in Pau, south of France last night drinking St Austell Proper Job IPA. What’s that all about? Drinking Cornish Ale in that France? Worlds gone mad I tells ya
A ride down to the coast with a friend yesterday for only the fourth or fifth time with him, a free sunday roast laid on for me and completed the weekend by watching The Keeper, Bert Trautmann a German POW decorated with an Iron Cross, then later playing in goal for Manchester City....Wow what a journey.
Went out on the Superduke 1290 earlier this morning before heading back to London. Did a wheelie but hit a false neutral between 3rd and 4th, smashing a testicle into the tank and sounding like Pavarotti for a good 2 seconds..... Hardest wheelie I’ve ever landed in 15 years. Sorry fork seals.
Filled a Jerry can of new fuel for 916. Cleaned and silicon sealed some minor cracks on air box. Test fire tonight to see if I put belts on correctly. I’ve spun engine and I can’t hear or feel anything hitting. I’ve done loads of cam chains on Suzuki’s but my 1st cam belt makes me nervous.
