Anyone follow Melbourne Cup/the trots?
Lost a couple hundred at Melbourne Cup today.
What a result, completely out of nowhere.
Think it was paying something ridiculous like $27 on the nose.
Mrs SD and I took our Interceptors for the first ride today, all went well, they are nice and nimble and respond well despite apparently only having 47HP.
Weather was sunny and hot so we cruised down to Kaka Point, had a coffee then back home via Karora Gorge.
OK rant time - I didn't realise how easy you had to take it when running in a new bike, grrrrr, 80kmh max for the whole trip, roll on the first 500km so we can start cruising a bit faster!

bugger off... ride it like ya stole it... harder the better, run in is codswallop with oils and materials these days...
I mollycoddled a new bike once and it never performed, diferent bike same engine gave it arseholes and went like a shower a shit, over 100k when I last seen that bike.
... put it like this, my race bike engins... from fresh rebuild... start, do not idle, blip blip blip again then let it go cold.
next cold start do the same, then ride it hard... enjoy...
cheers DD
