Saying that, it showed Tunnie's bike a clean set of heels, despite an awful misfire on the first overtake ;D


Actually, thanks for making go out for a ride Tunnie, by the end, my bike was purring much better - it really needed a run :y

No problem  :y

Weather permitting, we could pop over to Bicester tomorrow.

The Yam actually is most at home in town, its very easy to ride through the villages.

That was the longest ride i have been on yet! Was good for me to, was much smoother with everything by then end of it  :y
i was supposed to drop those bits off tonight, sorry.  I've had a small bottle or 2, so can't now  :-[.  I'll get them to you tomorrow  :-[

No worries, actually while i think about it, Mother tunnie is away in a couple weeks time, i don't fancy cooking. Time for a Curry?

The bobbles on the pegs look to round Tunnie, you need to find a nice roundabout ;)


On the A46 Cheltenham to Winchcombe road (I have taken that route with most bikes) I filed the centre stand down on my GS250T, there is a nice fast left hander coming down Cleeve Hill, which I took at 80, the centre stand was a lot thinner after a while.

Highest speed I even acheived on that hill was going up the Cheltenham side on the 600.

Even though it had unreliable electrics I do miss it.
