Wait til you here the little yamaha singing...

Yamaha's always sing a sweet tune.

Glad I got off my arse and did the ride tonight, not many left 'till daylight savings ends.
Glad to here Concour's and their owners are enjoying the new rubber, must say I quite like the PR2 on the back of my bike too, seems to gel with the PP 2ct nicely.
That camera set up is really nice, good to see Cowboyz on video for a change.
Got home without a drop of water which was nice, bloody warm with the rain jacket over the leather jacket though.
Yet another enjoyable FNR, cheers all.

Concours seems to have a bit of vibration (that I never new about) at around 4,500rpm and camera doesn't like it too much - I have a plan to fix that...

4500Hz (or a harmonic thereof) will be a resonance mode of the camera/ram mount system. Probably not the bike as such, or you'd feel it other times.

Great ride tonight, apart from the 2.5KM OF BRAND NEW CHIPSEAL. Should have picked some of those chips up to fling at a certain Daytona pilot who suggested the Apiti loop (the little gold one, not the gorgeous big blue one of course!) Mind you, after clearing the gravel I did have a nice clear run playing catch up, was able to fang it a bit and quite enjoyed it. Even remembered the nasty tightening endless right-hander before I got caught out by it (like last time).

Watch out for that 675 though - he says the Safety-Arm switches are for the ignition, but I reckon he's fitted rocket launchers under there somewhere.

And who said it was going to rain?

Nah, I just took my helmet!



Cheers for the ride last night everyone. It was great fun!

[NZsarge]

Really surprised you got home without getting wet.

Yeah, me too. Was looking at it getting darker and darker (the clouds ok, I know it was night fall ) and thought i'll put my over jacket on at least coz I was sure I would hit some rain at some point.
