And the best road in the Yorkshire Dales so far is...

B6479/B6255 from Settle to Hawes, via Horton on Ribblesdale - wow, just wow

Just got back from that one, and on this beautiful summer evening it was completely empty

Sounds like your enjoying our County Nick.....don't tell them all what it's like ...they'll all come!

Refitted the baffle to my new Mivv can as the bloody din off it on long rides is getting on my tits

Removed carbs to remove cam chain tensioner and re set. No fix. Split coolant pipe between carbs by accident, not good. Tried going backwards in gear with plugs out. Seems tensioner isn't my problem. Bad times

Glad I'm not the only one! Problem then is it is almost a tad quiet, but definitely prefer that to helmet crushingly loud. Still looks nice though at least.

Yeah the baffle end is curved down inside the can, so I'm going to try it like that for a wee while then maybe trim a small bit off to see if it make it a tad louder than wot it is....

Rode from Dijon to Genoa, via the Monte Blanc tunnel, there was a hours wait to go through, but not for me, lots of irrate forggies, Swiss, Ities and other nationalities as I swanned past the queue from the valley floor to the toll booths.

Sat-nav sent me to some cracking roads, (set it to no tolls) def no chicken strips on my rear tyre and now some scraps on the hero blobs.

Lots of picture postcard views but I'm not a great photographer so no shots yet.

Rome tomorrow, rest day Sunday for sightseeing.

Fitted kebabs R6 shock but first took the opportunity to remove and re-grease swing arm.

Note for anyone still to do the shock conversion on the 600 whether for r6 or the thou shock. Before refitting the swing arm, hang the new shock in place by the top bolt. It saves the fight to get the reservoir up through the arm

Also where I fitted everything back loosely when I came to tighten the bottom shock bolt the new dog bones blocked me from using a socket due to their shape.

So, I take it you're rhino testing it tomorrow.

Give us a shout if you fancy a run out.

midden · « **Reply #3141 on:** 26 July 2014, 09:29:24 pm »

I fancy we set it up first and then ride.
Take it have the know how

midden · « **Reply #3142 on:** 26 July 2014, 09:36:54 pm »

also I learned a lesson about organic rear pads today. they're foccin shyte, I need new set already. though that may be down to over use aswell $:\$

dazza · « **Reply #3143 on:** 26 July 2014, 09:42:02 pm »

Pop round mine then and we'll do it. I'm certainly no guru but we can set up your static and rider sag then go from how it feels from there. Might be worth giving Kitcrazy a shout. He may well be up for a little run on his new steed.

ETA From the vague information received from the Midden, between 11-12, call it 1pm
As he's always late and I think he's pissed.

Anyone else want to have a jaunt out, all are welcome.
