I hope to set off early on the Friday and stop off in the lakes (poss Keswick or Penrith) then leave Sat morning crossing via kirby lonsdale to the eastern side. Last year when I went down to wales, I had 7 or 8 stops not any of them at the limit of the tank, as the distance of the service stations ...

Never managed to red line it, top speed was I think 67 with a following wind,all the mates with X7s and LCs used to let me go off first (usually 1...

A mate of mine bought one 2 years ago he put 1200 miles on it over 6 months and put it in the garage. Sold it last week, he said if only he had a decent test run on it before he bought it. He likened it to a two stroke. When the Vee tec cuts in at the wrong speed for touring /cruising it was not a p...

Thanks for the info regarding that Stormtrooper. I heard a couple of weeks ago that the local bobbies (Northern constabulary) were planning the same thing. Noticed in my local paper yesterday that the feds in Fife caught a tin box driver at over 150mph whilst the driver was using a mobile phone. Che...

I will be going to Cadwell (somewhere around 450ish miles from here) on the Aug-Sept bank holiday making a 3 day trip out of it with a stop in t...

Did you find any difference in the performance of the bike after fitting the baffle's. The reason that I ask is that after buying a pair of them last year I looked at the diameter of the holes in the 3 pipe cluster and thought it was of smaller area than the oe can exit hole (will this cause any adv...

I have written to blue Flame twice now regarding the same thing and have not recieved a reply yet ( 1year) So I took the opportunity to ask one of their reps at the Scottish show. He said all the cans they produce now are road legal (all oval ) with removable baffles and that they did not make any p...

Sorry I don't have any pics of the high levels at the moment. They do look good apart from the 90mm spacers!!!!!!! for the pillion pegs, I reckon that a hefty passenger putting weight on them might bend the rear subframe. So my spacers are off for the moment. Also the way they sweep up pretty close ...

Not long back from the Hill. A good days racing, the weather could have been better (Rain and Hail showers and a freezing bloody wind). Not very often you see a field of 30+ on the track at any one time and as for the sidecars what more can I say. I will be back down for the next meet on the 2nd May...
