These 2 lads are my god children.

Great fun being on track with them, even if the eldest one ( guy Martin helmet) is already as fast as me and he is only 12!!

It sounds like you had some fun Al 😎😎

A bit of a shock when that happens from a 12 year old when you’re not expecting it :lol: :lol:

Chris,
he is only 50 yrs younger than me, imagine how much faster he is going to get!

Well I feel Tony’s pain owning an Aprillia Image Brought a new battery, drained old fuel and put in new fuel. Turns it over and it gradually started.
Then every time I opened the throttle it cuts out Image
I think it’s a vacuum issue or a split diaphragm, but will investigate another day. ImageImage

I will give that a look Rob. Getting there up to 7 now might be 8 soon as I met a guy with a bounty LC 250 with a 350 engine and front end who is thinking of selling

I'll give you £160 for it, as long as it measures less than 41" to the top of the screen. I can take the mirrors and toolbox off. But it needs to fit in the motorhome garage.

If only a bit over, I can use tie down straps on the front end.
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.

I was out last night seeing Red Snapper with a mate. The weather has been great so I decided to take the bike for its first proper spin. I loved it. Amazing amounts of torque and more comfortable than I thought. Roll on more warm dry weather.
