Rode up the Pico Veleta in the Sierra Nevada. Its closef to motor vehicles at 8500ft which is a shame. But wow what a road - as good at Monte Giovo and Gavia.

Well I've fitted and modded the following on my gen2 today... PCV, lars air box mod, O2 optimiser, copperdawgs flies, blocked AIS and k&n... And she pulls like a train.... Now need some dyno time... Booked in for next Saturday... Happy days!! :lol
how did you get the old flies off???...think I mushed a couple of my screws and then I gave up :\

Easy enough if you heat the screws up before trying to undo them as they're held in with threadlock. I did mine today. Heated the screws up with a soldering iron.
I could change my opinion, but then we'd both be wrong.

cheers Gra...yeh I heated up a big screwdriver and then held it on for a few seconds but I suspect it wasn't good enough and mainly that my screwdrivers weren't small enough.....im loathe to attempt it again this year now

Scrubbed the new PR 2's in with a runacross to Slimwillyland.
Only had one moment when I pushed a little to hard going into and out of a corner :lol :lol
Rode over to Erwlon campsite at Llandovery on Saturday, met with slim and dazza on Sunday for a good ride, then enjoyed two more days of good riding weather in Wales before heading home in the pissing rain today. I'll let the pictures do the talking:

Lofos rideout? Never been asked, invited or considered :'( .
