If they fit as well as the new ones I'd still use them. I'll be dressed fairly boring at the end of feb, all black with my Giugliano helmet.

As if the retro leathers are going. That was your forum identity

The wrong colour oil

That's a nice looking bike right there.

...A mate who's place we were staying at in France previously raced at a decent level and wanted to come out for a ride with us , we eventually persuaded him to change his rear tyre before said outing ....

Friday practice today at Pukekohe Classic Festival, near Auckland NZ.







Andrew Stroud's still got it apparently, as has the Britten 1000. Guy Martin also been ragging them a fortnight ago at Manfield.



Lots of strange stuff.



More strange stuff



My view of Auckland for the past fortnight from Te Atatu peninsula.

Just finished "Croz" about Graeme Crosby, the NZ Grand Prix rider from the early 80's - great read!

I did the same in 97/98 John. A fantastic experience with loads of great memories. Don't forget to send me a postcard

Did same thing 07/08 between houses & jobs and after bike racing. Hope we are as lucky on house prices this time as well!

Flying to LA tomorrow and then Mexico on Sunday to head South for up to a year - finally. Officially this trip is our Latin America thing, I have no idea why we started in India!!

Yawn...

My Daytona last summer - feels like moons ago now.

Nice bike. Do you have a dynos print out for it we can look at.

Thanks, but no afraid not

Perhaps a dyno session would smooth out that jerky on/off throttle response at the beginning of the throttle travel though.
