Old news saw this ages ago. Question is how long would he have got if the motorcyclist hadn't broken the law by overtaking on double yellows!

They look like the same pods I have on mine had a devil of a time trying to get it to run properly till I realised that the mounting rubbers actually reduce the intake too 28mm from 38mm so I was getting over rich mix pulled the rubbers out mad some new mounting out of polypipe and injinuity the differance was remarkable! Now just saving pennies till can afford descent set up.

Would like these guys to set it up for me but that's a dream.
