I took the bike up to Cupar in an early morning raid on Saturday since it was booked in for 9am. Good grief- Thought I was going to end up in a field / under a wagon several times. The cross winds were mental and the fact that it was raining was a real pain.
Decided against taking a courtesy bike since Quedos had accompanied me in the car. Much better idea that!
The run back in the afternoon was dry and this in itself was welcome. However, since the wind seemed to be coming from a generally South Westerly direction, I was losing speed in 5mph lumps - look down at the speedo and turn that throttle some more! The side winds coming home were probably worse in all honesty but to crown it all, my FI warning came on again on the way. This was after the guys had checked it over and found nothing out of the ordinary and couldn't get it to happen on the road test.
Oh well, I've to book it in again and have it checked with a fine tooth comb.
