First time out

[mikey]

Went out to fill up with petrol for hopefully Elvington tomorrow.

Jese it the fastest thing I've ever driven - I think I've gone overboard a bit. Not easy to drive with the street twin either. Because the cam is a we bit radical you cant pootle off and the clutch is difficult to let out slowly.

Guy was nice enough to let me into the traffic and I left rubber with the back end twitching - he must have thought I was a right prat.

Need to do some tinkering though the engine died a couple of times braeking and stopping at a junction. Difficult to start as if flooded. The fuuel level in the primary and secondary wer at the top of the sight bowl so Ive altered that and as such hope I make it to Elvington in one piece tomorrow.

Hope I get used to it as it is a bit of a handful compared to my last one.

Good man, just learning the ropes with mine, which also stalls under heavy breaking, but only when tickover mix tuned for the SVA/MOT.

3 months and you will be wishing for more power.

Trust me on this.

Well done Mike.

I dont really think you'l be wanting too much more power will you? Have you got estimates of any numbers at the mo.


Have a great time at Elvington. dont say you managed to get a ticket for £10 in the end..
