I finally rode mine :eek ........all the way to the mot station which i strategically picked to be 30 miles away :lol ........was shitting myself that stuff would fall off....& me!...........anyway it was foccing ace jus getting back in the saddle.....i coulda rode a vespa & been just as happy...
Apology time.....stevie...ive been promising to try out maxxis diamonds for so long now but when i asked them about them they were like oooof...oooossss.....ahhhhhhh.....plus we dont stick them we'll have to order in special.....there was no guarantee to have my bike back by the weekend when i start my next group of shifts :\ .........so i really am sorry...i shall try them one day but i really need to get my arse riding again.
Apart from that my intermittent starting problem isnt resolved yet & my brake resorvoir had been leaking & i was worried it would start its shit again and fail the mot while spoiling my paintwork.....luckily it seemed to be sealed when i got there.
Bike was going well...new throttle cable seems a dream.....not sure if that's the reason but i can now hold steady a line while going round a roundabout for example without feeling like a kangaroo......still fast as foc under full throttle...wee bit wheely happy with the high bars but makes up for it with more cornering prowess & sharp turn in after jacking up and pitching down.....still a bone shaker though....ill change fork springs next year.
After some discussion & price viewing & seeing what they actally had in stock I've gone with some Michellin Pilot Power 2CT.....i didn't quite see that id fully appreciate how mighty the Pilot Road 4 could be & while my Road 3 were good they werent exactly what id call thrilling so i said foc it ill give these Power thingies a try.
Only dropped the bike off at 4pm & when i got back home at half 5 i had an answer message saying my bike was "done".........could it be?????? 8)

Easiest way to go fast........don't buy a blue bike
