I've got a fair idea where about 3000 of them were, Blooming good too

It is the tread depth the wife is struggling with, especially when I tell her a new set is lurking!!

Did'nt even bother looking at the custom bikes, the online shop was much more interesting to me.

Found out this weekend it pays to have a wee fiddle round engine parts whenever you got it apart, did a top end rebuild on the CR and powervalves looked like they was open, which is odd, cos they should only open at low revs, started it with a cover off and reved it up, bloody thing just about shot out of the side of the barrel. Tore it down again and found the last owner hadn't located the actuator bit before tightening it up, so it was spinning freely.

Fixing it made a fucking big difference in the mid range though, way faster round the track, and wheelstands before powerband

even managing to shift up when on the back wheel now. Also did the exhaust baffles so she sounds mint too.
