Sounds like a good trip out.

Took my 916 for a blast and caught up with Dave and Brenda so tagged along for a bit but was running low on fuel so lost them.

Coming back from Henley I came across a BMW 1000rr who hit some serious speed going up the dual carriage way but I was able to catch up in traffic and had a good play back to H-Cafe. Collected a new battery there as the old one could bearly spin up the SP3 engine.

Very impressed with the bikes bhp and handling. Clean fuel has sorted out the slight misfire as well

Now your just being mean...;-)

Glad your enjoying it Nev...may be worth running some jet cleaning stuff through a couple of tanks of fuel just to ensure its all clean after being sat still with some old fuel.

...and don't forget about that missing dezus fastner for the bottom of the fairing !

Don't worry, I popped into Grant's GP Performance and Will there gave me one so all sorted.

Done about 400km on her now and going very well. Went over to Ducati Aylesbury on Saturday and found a crowd of people round the bike when I came back to it. All seemed to like the classic look
