[Alpinestarhero]

....to boxhill :cheers: and it was quite busy, as busy as I've seen it in recent months. Here's a pick of some of the bikes there:

Ohhhh nom nom nom MV Augusta

http://i165.photobucket.com/albums/u54/alpinestarhero/DSC_0160.jpg

Two RG500's; the one on the right was pretty much original, the one on the left was not. And the guy dropped it when pulling away...I think he spun up on something greasy:

A rank of GSX1400 supertankers:

good pics there bud like the two rg's very cool.

[Alpinestarhero]

oh yea, forgot to point out...that MV had an extra mirror on the end of the handlebar. I guess the standard mirrors are crap :rolleyes:

[Mr Speirs]

The 1098's clutch does sound screamy. Well the one I heard did too so I assume it is normal.

[dizzyblonde]

oi...who said you could borrow my screen? and where did you put the rubber trim that always falls off halfway down a motorway ;-)
Im Indoors says you don't see a pair of RG's every day..nice

[kwak zzr]

Didnt even bother putting the stupid rubber trim on, i think my dad is saving it for some other task :rolleyes: :mrgreen:

yea, it was cool to see the RG's, and two quite differant ones.

ah, i see, i guess thats ok then. maybe because the plates were cold? it only screamed when he slipped the clutch pulling away, disengaged it rattled (normal) and fully engaged there was just the rumble of the termi's

Nice pics Matt, not seen a Duke 1098 in black, not too bad once you got rid of those stickers

The clutch on Liz's 749 does the same sometimes.
