had a spirited ride to work this morning, trying to keep the engine revving a bit more on the road as when I went on the ride out I realised I was shifting too early before I hit the power and thats when you guys took off, what I have learnt though is that the zx6 will power wheelie in 1st
... slowed down after that
Remember: If in Doubt use Full Throttle, It may not make the situation any better, But it will end the suspense...

Camera is alright tho .... just need to sort a mount out for it .... I put it on the mirror arm but it vibrates too much
I put on the exhaust hanger on the way back which is sturdier but obviously my leg gets in the way
I need to do more fiddling with mine. A previous camera i tried on the mirrors and it was rubbish for them too.

Left it at home because the forecast said rain and I didn't want to cart my change of clothes and my wet gear around with me then ride home in the wet, get dried off and then change again into my gym gear
So far it's been bone dry here.

Bought this little lot to get the NC29 into shape. Generator, rectifier, battery.....basically, the complete charging system. Testing each component on the bike revealed that they were all fooked!
Oh, and the obligatory oil and filter.
Nice little job for Sunday....

Took the track beast for a quick tootle down the road. (Mac close your eyes
) really smooth engine, everything felt tight and direct. Didn't get over 40 mph or 5K rev's but it still sounded sweeeeeeeeet!
