Re: The All new Reeder Megathread
MOT number two today followed by a wee run out (I’ve picked the right week to take off work). One advisory for a shoogly hugger - I’ll sort that at some point.
Worked out from the MOT history it’s not been on the road since the end of 2015. I’ve lost a bit of weight since then so the suspension settings are a bit out. Still handles well though. I prefer the bars to clip-ons. |

Re: The All new Reeder Megathread
Still looking decent enough I forgot the tank was damaged. Is it running ok now?

Re: The All new Reeder Megathread
Was running great today. Lots of popping and farting on the overrun mind.
MOT guy thought he could hear a leak on the front exhaust header. That could cause the popping I would have though but I’m not hearing it. Tempted to file that under M for “Meh” |

Re: The All new Reeder Megathread
I like a bit of popping. My Dorso can be ridiculously loud though! Sometimes if I'm going downhill with the throttle shut it's like a machine gun. Kinda embarrassing in town

Re: The All new Reeder Megathread
I might sell it. Not sure.
I put new tyres on it 3 years ago and they still had the chalk lines on them this morning. That’s them just run in today. Somebody else could be getting some use out of it. |
