Re: Glencoe Massacre 2015
Some experienced riders had worry moments, I cant remember exactly what happened but Speedy Claire had a dodgy moment on one corner, watching her made Sandrine on pillion do that silly little scream women do, so that made me sh!t myself and almost screwed up the same corner.

Re: Glencoe Massacre 2015
It's a brilliant Road, but there are a good few corners that tighten up and a few that turn on the crest of the hill. That's what caught out my pals. Definitely slow in and fast out on that road, especially if you haven't been on it before.

Re: Glencoe Massacre 2015
broke down on sunday for the first time on the bike so i have to test bike tonight to make sure that its not the stator/generator or the rge/rec. battery was fubar but when testing by AA the charging volts were 12.6v at 5k. got the bike home put new battery in and charging at 14.1v and battery healthy at 13.1v. so all is good but it might be something breaking down when hot. if its the stator i'm feked, if its the reg/reg i'm half feked for going on my jollys.

Re: Glencoe Massacre 2015
well tested the bike and it was bad news. voltage started dropping at the battery so usual tests. stator.. ok (thank fek) so had to be the reg/rec. took the connectors off for the reg/rec and it was all furred so a quick clean later and bingo a healthy 14.2v at battery... i'm a happy happy bunny right now.
