After a problem with a leaking fuel perished line to the Carb, I machined a new 8mm to 6mm adaptor in brass to connect a new supple fuel line and
finally was able to test my TR1KE after a month of stress with a knackered R1 engine. My newer engine has only covered 15,000 miles and runs and
starts sweet as a nut, I finally have the confidence back I had in all my bikes past and present. I was only out for an hour, and setting off
shifting through gears brought a huge smile to my face, its funny spinning the rear wheel up in 4th gear
Took my wife out for a quick blast, before I had reached the top of my road she shouted "I love it"
Just waiting on great weather so I can really go and show off, and hoping Wednesday brings a nice evening for a trip to Sherburn.
On with making a camping rack for the Newark show as I have my nephew coming with me, and well with no storage at all, I will have to make something
work with my bike rack and a selection of fabric back packs until I can afford the Coocase panniers I need.
All in all, I love it, I think I prefer it to my bike
It's amazing how very low it is compared alongside cars, I can just about see a driver when sat side by side
Yeah, I have a waterproof HD Camcorder setup on the rollbar now, not sure how it will cope, I need a much more substantial mount for it, and ideally a
separate mic mounting closer to the exhaust out of the wind flow. The next nice evening I get I will get some footage :-)
It's not that i'm lazy, it's that I just don't care.....
