Speed Bumps (and happy new year !)
Discussion
Been out this morning for an end of year run around Shropshire. Although I have always avoided speed bumps, I thought it was time to test the theory and see if the GTR would clear one without too much damage.
Am pleased to say that the GTR cleared all the speed bumps, even the large one on the entrance to RAF Cosford. Not even a scratch on the bottom of the front clip or the heads of the seat bolts. My front ride height is 100mm exactly, and I am sure the bump at Cosford is higher, but the lack of front overhang obviously helps lift the front and clear the bump.
Proof I made it is below - pity I couldn't get a photo under the wing
Also managed to enter / exit Wellington multi storey car park without a problem. If you are local you will know what a tight ramp that is ! All goes to show that the GTR is genuinely useable around town as well as on the open road.
All the best for 2008, fellow Ultima enthusiasts !
Regards
Tony.
