Elan S1, very ropey/crazed fibreglass/poorly maintained, poorly modified and couldn't afford to restore plus was daily transport. Love a Fiat 126 - had 2 and 2 500s.
Have SORN the Hyper till next year so washNdry GT85 the electrics , stick it on the tender under its cover. Newly serviced and MOT,d Multi now on point.
Got the Gsxr out for its first ride of the year and also road tested my new mesh jacket, it definitely works well I was bloody freezing when I got back
Set all the suspension to the ‘performance’ settings -1 turn on the 899 and fell back in love with it. It feels light and up on its ‘springs’ and I have feeling and much less weight transfer.
Popped to Manchester's Curry Mile for an old favourite of mine to finish my holiday weekend. Freshly grilled chicken tikka and lamb seekh kebabs laid on naan, with all the trimmings and a little vegetable samosa added for a treat. No cutlery, just bread and fingers to get you through it. Stuffed...
If it's a limited production bike that will only ever go up in value, I could understand, but it just looks like a normal Hyper to me.
Ordered HM quickshifter for 1299. The Domino QA throttle will be returned for refund BTR were very good with the refund. Top company. biketorqueracing. QS arrived. Got the SABS Lite. I may have asked for wrong length shift rod though. I need 90mm, they sent 145mm. Think I have a 90mm floating around so meh.
I’ve finally fitted the full six carbon parts as I had no takers selling them. Glad I did now they look mint
Panic stations today as hadn't had my insurance renewal quotes through for two bikes this month, with a few emails with the insurance broker i found out that they're in JUNK mail, that's first for me.
Just got back from Donington, the traffic is really Unpacked most of the Pennine but I'm pooped so I'll do the rest tomorrow. Andy
