Progress 2, 30 mph speed limit sorted
« on: September 18, 2007, 07:06:38 PM »
Well the bike ran great on the Aintree run, except that I noticed that the wife (leading me in the car) was being very aggressive with the speed limits in Liverpool (loads of speed cameras) especially the 30 mph ones. A test run today at 30, 40, 50, 60 and 70 mph proved the Honda's speedo is 7 mph fast at all speeds. No wonder it didn't like 30 mph speed limits !
But it also showed me what a wimp I have become, struggling to hold on to 70-80 mph on the motorway ! But boy was it gusty.
The only problem I had was when I dropped Dean off at home I turned the bike off to have a ciggie, and when I turned it back on I had nothing, no electrics whatsoever, took the side panel off, I just touched the fuse box cover and it all came back, so today I have taken the fuse box off and cleaned all the contacts, hope it cures it, it was OK on the test run.
Plus I have to keep putting petrol in the thing !

Cheers
