ladies, gentlemen, those that have yet to be categorised…
thought i’d say a quick hi. recognise some of the faces from the galleries from events around town (george white’s open day, bandit bikes, supreme riders day, killspills the other sat etc) and stumbled on the LB site from some of the mad pics a mate shared with me (ghostie’s carpark knee down action is just plain awesome…)
cheers everyone. chances are if you cant see me, you’ll hear me (50mm termis make small children cry and scare the bejesus out of bystanders who aren’t expecting it - that will never stop being amusing). so useful for filtering - full beam and a dropped clutch means cars actually swerve away to let me thru. when i’m two up, i swear that must have saved my ass more than once
love the duchess but have to admit its broken down on me already since i got it. Was actually nothing to do with the italian builder having a fag break and forgetting to put it together properly - my datatool 3 (brand new) managed to get water in it and cut the fuel pump on me whilst riding (fortunately wasn’t belting it at the time). oddly didn’t have a moment of trouble on the full wet day at brands… (imagine the drop into paddock, trying to hold your line and avoid the building water off to the left and discovering you’ve no drive…yeeash)
on that topic, the replacement is being a bit of a bugger too - the arm/disarm chirps have randomly gone quiet, but will sometimes sound now. anyone else had this or am i due back to aylesbury for them to rip it out again?
