Having seen the MacNav in operation I must admit to being impressed.

I was expecting to see pieces of slate and chisels :D

looking good lloydie, far to good for the track bike tho.... :lol:
also be aware that if it's a big bore system, it might effect your choice of fairing lower.

Spoke to my local man about a new rear tyre yesterday. Today went for a nice long run through the Yorkshire Dales and got a rear puncture 20 miles from home. Delivered bike to tyre place on the back of a truck.....

T'was a BT016, supposedly new 2.2k miles ago. Totally trashed. But, I'm getting another one. It seemed to do the job.

Today saw me finally get the track bike back and ready to run again. I said screw it to a new rear brake lever and peg. I've refitted the crashed peg as it is still usable (only scraped the end off) and I have fitted a new throttle tube to it as I broke the old one.

All I need more is some fuel to fire her up and make sure there are no leaks anywhere :)

when your old and incontinent 100 miles is plenty :lol: , i need to empty before i fill up the bike due to my tablets, still riding it though so can't complain.

MY Mates GS adventure does about 310 miles but cost about £35 to fill up. oh and it looks like a sofa :lol:
