Had a mint ride with the IMOC boys over the mangamukas, both ways, to Pukenui for a pie. There was a mint 1983 MHR which I had the pleasure of following for a while at a brisk pace.

I had a 1985 MHR Mille, awesome bikes and still capable of getting along fairly quickly even if a bit agricultural

Every time i see one of those clear covers i am reminded what Phil Irving joked about how if you could see into a Vincent camshaft whilst the engine was running you would likely see sparks...

Yeah but that wasn't ever the point of owning a bike like that, not for me anyway

I've heard of Ducatis superior torque helping them stick to the road, but this photographic evidence is bordering on ridiculous.

Great roads btw, much jelly!

Thats true but it ws annoying. Loved the feeling of the frame being able to take all the power of the 900,I remember going over the (conway river?) bridge at absolute full speed and it was rock solid at a big lean angle full throttle
