    Annual Gypsy Hazards

    My annual reminder for adventure riders travelling back roads over the next week. Watch out for cattle trucks, slow tractors towing overloaded trailers and mobs of cows leaving slippery messes, just around that blind corner or over the next brow.
    For those riders doing the Brass via gravel there will be another hazard, in the form of a slow DT230 wobbling it's way between pie shops & toilets.
    Ride safe.

    Not a Jimmy's mutton pie by any chance Enjoy the Brass. May head out on Sunday looking for ya.
    Sometimes you wish it was easier, but if it was, everyone else would do it, then you remember you don't want to be like everybody else!

    If your DT is slow check the power valve is working properly. Clean air filter is a must. If that's not it I would suspect the carb. Got some new jets lying around here somewhere.
