Awesome Bimble Through Lakes And Bit Of Wee Scotland - kingtut - 26-06-2010
Got back last night from a couple of days through the lakes, up to scotland, back through the lakes and a bit of the dales.
Ferkin loved the bike - really stood up to all my expectations [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/clapping.gif[/img]
The B7068 out of Lockerbie was bl**dy ace, as were most of the roads if i'm honest.
Got about 40mpg - with a good strong wiff of petrol, so deffo emulsion thingies are needed.
Seat was shite if i'm honest, but it aint saying anything that hasnt be said more than a handful of times.
I found out that at some time on the way back, that the bike had bottomed out at some point - evidenced by the bloody hole i have now in the hugger [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/ranting.gif[/img]
Would deffo look at a larger rear rubber.
All in all a truly cracking piece of kit [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/good.gif[/img]

Isn't that the silly shaped hole they all have? Mine and others I've seen are taped up with a square of gaffer tape.

erm .... Pass.
I hadn't noticed it before, but saying that I'd only had the bike a short time.
I just put it down to - over enthusiastic riding, worn shock & my fat arse lol
