749r
 

Picked up the latest issue of Bike magazine yesterday.Inside is an article on the 749R.Not had chance to fully read it yet,but it looks pretty favourable.:)
(magazine is the July '09 issue)

top tip

good, if pretty short, read.

power curves look interesting, though nowt like the graph I got a few weeks ago.

pi55ing thing failed it's MOT yesterday, "for race use only" it says under the can. great. anyone know of a blind MOT tester near bedford?

magpie.

I know one in Hemel Hempstead if that's any use to you..

Likewise,one in Peterburglar.

My 999 sailed through its MOT after I attacked the lettering on the can with a Dremel.After grinding out the letters,I polished it all up and nobody is any the wiser.;)

Churchill Motors on the A5 in Pottersbury just north of the Stoney Stratford / Northampton r/about, passed mine for the past 2 years
01908 542655, cheapes round here on tyres also ( son next door) Termi race can on my 999

D'oh. why didn't I think of that? 30 minutes later it's done. Polished up it looks ferkin ace.

I'll try for a retest tomorrow.

Magpie.

PM me

the fast bikes article pitching the 848 against 3 other bikes for their cornering ability is a great 4 page read

bingo, green ticket, it passed.

now, anyone out tomorrow for a little bimble?

i've not completed any miles since dyno/fuelling has been sorted, i'm itching.

magpie.

Tomorrow? Bike------->Trailer ------>Cadwell.

It's a three bike trailer and I'll be coming past Bedord about 4 o' clock, so if you want a lift....go on...you know you want to...her indoors won't mind if you nip out for a quick blat on Sunday afternoon and come back on Tuesday :lol:

Booger,missed that.
Went for a blat this morning,.....intended to do a mini 4 counties run,only to find the best bits were overrun with police.Took to the minor roads instead,....Hyper country,....scared myself a few times,....met Marko near Stamford,......good ride home,....job done.:)

shame.

i made it out though, bedford, chelveston, grafham, st neots, bedford.

bike is running as sweet as anything i've ridden in the past 10 years.

bizarrely the missus ok'd the two days at cadwell, so jools, I would've been up for it. work commitments mean it's a no-can-do however.

magpie.
