    Had an 80 mile trundle on the Trident to Squires (the long way!) for a pot of tea. What a pleasant way to while away a few hours.:) Bike was running beautifully, as usual, the roads were quiet and the weather was just right.
    Didn't have the need for speed, it was pure relaxation - well, as far as it can be when riding. Too much relaxation can be somewhat painful!:scream:
    However, on a straight and empty piece of local road, accelerating off a roundabout, I wapped it open in 2nd gear just for the hell of it. The bike shouted to me "About fooking time, I was getting bored" (made up that bit, obviously - well bred bikes don't swear:rolleyes:) as it took off towards the horizon at a most delinquent rate of acceleration with me hanging on for dear life.:eek::grinning: Feck my old boots, that old bike still flies if given the opportunity.:cool: Feels like either the bike is getting faster or I'm getting older:confused: - I'm sure it was never that fast before though!:confused:
    Deep joy!!!:grinning::joy:

    You wouldn’t wanna roll it, would yah?

    What’s the wear ratio for the tyres? Five rear tyres to one front? Have you had it on a track yet?

    Definitely having your arse less than 2" from the tarmac makes it feel a tad quick.
    Even with a pair of racing snake's like me n DD, that thing feels fast as feck. Noise is seriously loud, could even hear it with my duff ear! :p

    A bit disappointed - just over a week in and one of the dipped lights has given in. I've sent a photo and complaint to the supplier, will see what happens...

    Thanks. Probably just a loose contact, but as you can't get inside, replacement is the only option...
