Mmm, any good?
Johnny4428:
I wasn’t really sure what I wanted Ian, but that is a kind offer indeed, might pop up and have a wee spin on it? Was actually up your way this afternoon. Don’t think there was anybody home though?

Hi Johnny,
Sorry I missed you today, Christine said she saw a bike coming up the road as she was going out. Hey ho. I went out early on the Forza and picked up an E bike from Alec in KW for a trip with a mate to Shapinsay. He will be 90 in January and still riding a bike! (even if it's an E bike). Lovely ferry trip, visited friends over there and even went to the reopened Smiddy restaurant. A grand day out Grommit!
I'll be away for a couple of weeks in September (Yorks/Lancs) on the Forza, so you could have the 350/4 then if you like.
Ian
Johnny4428:
No problem Ian! I am away later in September too for 12 days. 90! Good on him indeed. Did you manage to keep up with him?🤭

Only after I adjusted his rear brake when he wasn't looking so it was dragging! ;D

Yes. Similar to ones on the 750 when it was imported. Plenty room at the recycling centre for them!😂

Looking at the pipes on the advertised 350, I see that they have used the system of siamesing pipes 1&2, and 3&4. This gives a rather uneven exhaust note from each side due to those cylinders being at 180 degrees to each other. For a nice smooth note it is far better to join 1&4 along with 2&3. That would give a rather pleasant howl all the way across the Pentland Firth!!!
