But that you rarely go above 30 and 40 anyway

Hey Pete!
Have you noticed any difference yet since the rear shock fix? Perhaps you need a few more miles to really notice.

Well David, the bizarre thing was, I had the best ride back from the Peaks down some nice fast roads. The Duke was handling pretty well. Of course the settings are different now so I've got to try and find the sweet spot again.

Bike is in for another service next week, but seeing as how the weather has taken a turn for the better in the Midlands we de-Dukedolphed it and got it ready for a run out tomorrow.

We did around 700 miles in December with the furry panels on so hadn't taken them off to wash all the muck off. However happily the bike is unscathed under the plastics, so after cleaning the salt of the exhaust system I took it outside to burn off the WD40 and took a couple of short vids to show how it has fared so far.

looks verry clean Pete.

may i suggest that your battery needs a danger 'nuclear' sign on it.

Don't think there is room for any more stickers on it, Bibio

Yeah mucho car for the monies. Na Kerri will be in her KA as she can't get insured on the Alfa.
I picked it up yesterday. There is a small problem with it, there is a loose connector which just needs tying up, occasionally sends the car into limp home mode .
