That’s my end of the garden I use what I have . Making do is a weakness and a hobby of mine. . Where is the fun in throwing money rather than ingenuity, unless it’s a bike of course
Well HH is a happy bunny, apparently his bike is going much better now with the new pipe, apparently the handling is on point now and the front brakes are awesome. Funny how having the right brake lever and straight forks does help . Seriously I am happy he is.
I remember those days when I was on my 125 and "keeping up" with the guys on litre bikes and 600s when in reality they must have been very bored, but it is a rite of passage i guess.
But then again to me now a 600 feels like a 125 after jumping from the busa to my old mans thundercat I was wringing its neck wondering if it was broken but it was really giving all it had but still felt slow
To use a local phrase "He is all cock and ribs like a Zanzibar Greyhound"
He reckons he can get 70mph out of it but the couple of times I have ridden with him he never got much past 60mph. I have had a couple of spins on it and it wouldn't go past 60mph with me on it but then again I reckon I am twice his weight. It's not a pristine example of the breed either. Hateful thing IMHO, Shadows is a much better bike if a little slower to accelerate. But talking about 125 performance is a bit like fleas arguing over who owns the dog, as I tell the kids loudly and often
