Went for a nice ride to RAF cosford with Lloydie and CK..

I know I can be a bit negative at times, so I'll start with the good points of the day :

- Good ride there and back (apart from spots of horrific rain)
- Good company
- Tyres :

Spots of beautiful weather :

(Dunno why my phone took it so shittily)


Now for the bad points :

- This ;
Left exhaust :

Right exhaust :

Pretty sure I had it leaving RAF cosford, so no wombles idea where it is now :(

Can't say I'm surprised as that thing was vibrating a wombles ton at uhh.. certain points of the rides :lol:

Still pissed off about it, and I can't remove the other one because I don't wanna go deaf so young. The earplugs help but only slightly if I have no baffles in, it's ridiculous :lol:

Had a good run back from Cosford. Was playing with an R1 most of the way. I kept spinning the back tyre up in the rain though. Really need to get the back tyre changed this week. Great catching up with you guys :thumbup:

Was good putting a name to a face, and I now understand the numbers in your username. It's how many centimetres tall you are, right? :D :lol:

Only about 130 today with a vast mixture of dry sunny then wet sunny roads, wiggling off the cats eyes is good fun though.
Ive stiffened up the front springs a bit and i think i may need a bit more preload on the rear spring for "spirited" riding, still very impressed with the WP shock and Rogered forks.
missing the noise, not the vibes. However never say never!
