A Manx One

Post by Ballacraine »

Mine as I got it.

I have changed the tyres which were shot & put the front back to 70 section.
Also I have started to replace fasteners with stainless & copper greasing left right & centre. :mrgreen:

Once I get it all legal I will give it a try with the new shoes.
Italian shoes for an Italian lady. Pirelli Dragon Evos.

Oh & yes we do have palm trees here! :wink:

I think she well might! :wink:

On the test ride she behaved pretty well. I bimbled along at around 5-6000rpm in the eighties or so going from Ramsey to Onchan.
I then realised the red line was at 10.5 thou so over the Mountain back to Ramsey, I found she gets quite peaky at 9 grand or so! :mrgreen:

I think we are going to get on! :D
