Yes I rode a 1200 Trophy for a while and they are thirsty. This 900 trophy varies from around 50 mpg with the trailer on to usually 54/56 without always "making progress" as the good book advises.
@Shaun64 Sat up at the Kings Arms (Reeth) on the green, yesterday afternoon 16:00 ish. Saw forty bikes odd including a couple of Velocette's. Have a couple of piccies when I get around to it. Stunning location......absolutely beautiful.
New chain fitted this morning and adjusted And lined up, looks straight to me Just waiting for the bloody rain to stop to give her a test
Had a nice 100 miler through the mountains of eastern Tennessee and western North Carolina. Dodged a bit of rain, and it was gorgeous day. Even did a short stretch of gravel road.
I lived there until very recently, fantastic ride up Swaledale towards Keld, then take off over the famous Butter tubs pass to Hawes ,then on to ribble head and beyond. One of the best rides in England, go during the week and you'll pretty much have the roads to yourself. I now reside in North Norfolk, very picturesque but a little too flat.
That’s what I’m talking about. Show ‘em who’s boss! I’ve done the same with my V2K. It ate Harley’s and shit Indians.
Similar experience following an ape-hanger for several blocks being assaulted by his incessant throttle blips at every opportunity. Undercut him on a cross traffic turn, as he angled wide (only possibility for that hog) into the curb side lane. I opened up Blue for a short burst of two gears and left him 1/4 mile behind. He finally roared past me as I was slowing for a turn, but the race was long over by then. "a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing"
All the seasons today for a 270mile ride. Quick stops to regroup and a short lunch with a viewing of a private collection of bikes and cars to wrap up half way. Les’s garage - new thread
After a quick wash took the old girl out for a decent test ride, all working beautifully no funny noises, nothing fell off, and stopped as well as before - mission accomplished the more eagle eyed may recognise this view of Beachy Head from the closing scenes of Quadraphenia
