Whilst you're there, check all the other bolts for torque. I know a couple of bikes that have come out of A&D with bolts that vibrated loose. One was a brand new ZX636, and by the time he'd got to the A5, he'd lost his right rearset!!

Ok cheers, I will give it a check over tomorrow before the run up to the Ponderosa on Sunday.

damn, two 58 reg bikes! what did you do? rob a bank??

Nah, just got a few bob for the Benelli when i sold it. So i guess you could say i "reinvested it! lol

Thats what i told the wife anyway.

i tip my hat to you sir

is that the hat/gimp mask in the avatar?

wouldnt you like to know (manical laughter)













i will go now ........

Heres a few pics for the lads I met at the ponderosa on Sunday.

These pics were taken about a week after i got the bike. The right hand side looked a lot less sparkly after i dropped it on the trackday!

ouch i bet that hurt in more ways than one! Lovely bike

Yeah, nice to ride and look at, and a lovely sound. Every time you parked up somewhere, there was always a crowd around it when you came back. One time I came back to it, I was trying to get to the bike and some guy pushed me and said "wait your turn mate, you can get closer when ive had a good look".

Bad bits:
£420 for a service, group 17 insurance, 30mpg, toasts your **** if you stop for more than a minute (radiators under the seat), rear brake caliper is in a stupid place (i knocked mine on a kerb), too many nuts/tank interfaces (have you seen the shape of the tank). Extreme **** ache after 20 miles (look at the seat pad).

Apart from that, "sweet"
