Went for a blast on the Kawasaki with Tunnie this evening.  What a pleasant evening - Brackley, Chipping Norton, Stow-on-the-Wold, Cirencester, Bibury, Witney, then back roads back to Brackley....


Reckon its going to be a challenge to get all the flies off the visor though - thats the trouble with summer evenings....

[PhilRich]

Blows the cobwebs away though, so a reasonable tradeoff? 

[tunnie]

i was keeping up, until i miss-shifted on 5th, and bounced off the rev limiter   

Still was good ride out, great scenery! A nice warm up for tomorrows run to Wales & Isle of Man!

That is some nice scenery, I'm sure it's even better on a bike. I saw Tunnie's front screen and visro when he came over some time ago, and that was covered with dead flies...and now it's got warmer so I'm sure it's worse.

Go to it Tunnie mate! Live life to the full while you're young & enjoy every minute along the way!!

[tidla]

did the same today. went round the shops in the 3.0 mig...

Indeed! I am in two minds what to do after this trip as its been a while in the making, Father T works there so been meaning to do trip for a while, and there is plenty of opportunity to do more...

I was planning to sell it when i get the flat, but i have been able to get enough money together for deposit / other costs without needing to sell it.

Not sure what happened that day, it was a bit of massacre in bug world! Went out for far longer ride today and only fraction of the amount of bugs  :-/

Yeah, it was a good run out - notice you had a dark visor, must have been getting a bit black at the end when the sun went down

I think that time was the only time I had it wide open from a standing start.  Need to find someone who can properly service it - I can't balance 4 carbs. It used an excessive amount of fuel to do those 100m, used a whole tank. It was a bit poppy/missy until we stopped at Bibury - seemed a bit better after that.

I think I killed them all, making your progress a fly-free one

Just a bit 

Trouble is i have used clear visor / sun glasses combination but the glasses mist up very easy in slow speed traffic, plus i find visibility slightly restricted with them on, hence dark visor. Also looks cooler

Its a legal grey area, but try to carry a clear one all the time

[tunnie]

yeah, i'll be shoving one in top box in case it rains as that has an anti-fog thingy.

Did smell a bit rich following you at times, you didn't leave the choke on again did you?
