He wasn't far from home so he swapped bikes and caught us up.  It was a duff coil, not producing sparks.
Where's that 10mm socket got to?

Well I went to Stansted and an anonymous business park outside Cambridge on my bike today.

It pissed down.

I didn’t bother with any photos

Cool bike Julie. The exhaust looks reassuringly Loud.
I wish we had some dry weather here to go out for a spin, tomorrow should be sunny though.

It's a Laser system, not mega, mega loud but the tone is fantastic. It just makes you want to ride faster though, just to hear it at its best 😀😀😀 The Yoshimura I have fitted to my CB550/4 Mongrel has the same effect on me 🙄🙄🙄🙄
