Wot the Jatz's did

[NordieBoy]

Big tank?

You bastard!

[_Shrek_]

I went for a ride to celebrate new years day .....
and I had pulled a spare seat out from where it was hiding under the house, to go with the new tank on the little bike, I ordered the tank on the 18th Dec from justgastanks.com and it arrived on the 31st, pretty speedy postage IMHO

so you guys do'n the DB, now you got a big tank & enough gas for three

ps nice pic's

Ahhhh no.....
With a bit of luck we'll be going to Aucktown for family business, which should involve a week long bike trip through the North Isl.. Still waiting to hear from family at this stage though,

Disowned you since you sold the P76, cut off the mullet and moved to Mot?

[Padmei]

Ahhhh the P76 - now there was a car.

Seeing as how everybody else is off enjoying the D.B. I thought a bit of retail therapy might make me feel more betterer

OH CRAP what have I done ?





But on the plus side..... I ran into a fellow rider at the bike shop who sugested I leave the bike at his house while I went to Nelson, save's me going home to get gear, and pick it up when I get home. He had some panniers sitting in his shed unused, SCORE !!
I'll be in touch Nerdneh





The blinging has begun
Looking forward to ringing the shop on Monday and booking it in for the 1000k service

She is beautiful

[JATZ]

She is beautiful

Black beauty ?.......Nah, that's a bit gay

Welll, after a few k's today what do I make of it ?....... It's still bland and unexciting but it did everything it needed to do and didn't miss a beat Just needs a bigger tank, and a screen and........

Pop the seat off and pull the snorkel out of the top of the airbox, it just clips in. That alone makes quite a difference. Ideally the carb needle should be shimmed or moved down a clip as the bike will run a bit leaner but mine ran fine without doing that.

At no stage today did I feel I needed more power, it overtook cars with ease, spun the rear exiting corners on the gravel, and would go fast enough to get a good fine if caught or maybe I just ride like a nana. It felt almost neutral when standing aswell, and I like the fact it's quiet too unlike the last 2 bikes I've been riding
Week after this one we head North for a week, with all the gear for a tour, so I'll leave any modifications until after that. If I do too much MrsJ won't be able to keep up on the 350 (but that may be a good thing )

Your beast is a good example of what can be done to one of these.
