  1. first time riding, not even been up the road, few teething issues before I shipped it off to Portimao but gonna be awesome on my 675 now its running!

    Except it lasted 4 1/2 laps before clunk, donk, clutch in seized

    So current state is this, ready to drop at a place recommended by @cookster tomorrow and hopefully he can squeeze it in

  5. if only it were just a clutch...alas its seized somewhere
     
  6. Luckily Mick the trucker let me use his alongside the instructor who was using it, so got 2 full days on track in the end. Although the fixer 750 was pretty std, had mix/match tyres, brakes were back to the bar and front as soft and soggy as a wet weekend in margate

    But had some fun anyway :)

  9. I used someone elses bike, spent about £50 in fuel, and came back with a set of unfitted bramd new SC tyres. And was under 2'10 without trying. So yet could have been way worse :)
