Think I've got this right - Is the girlfriend going to let you out on the TTR? The 320 is only from Yaldhurst back to Rakaia.

Hopefully not to wet this time aye?

The Girlfriend (A) is safely in Maastricht at the moment, and (B) knows who really owns the bike.... From Yaldhutst to Rakaia, you say... that's not so bad. What say you to running AV gas in the TTR?

Cheers A

Got the right person then LOL. No idea re the avgas. Don't they run cooler on avgas? Suspect that higher octain is not worth it though as TTR is not "that" higher compression motor??? (guessing it is round 10 to 1?)

I've gone to 95/98 from 91 in the DR650 as runs smoother at 100kph but suspect I've lost a little bit of torque in mid range. Cant really tell about the torque (seat of the pants assessment) but defiantly can notice the increases smoothness at 100kph.

Wish I was going with you, have a great one. For me, probably more shed time and/or a long-overdue road bike blast.
