Horobags, first thing is change the tyres for some city grips, makes a huge difference, standard ones are lethal in the wet, also i had the oil in the forks changed at the dealer as its like piss, stick in some 10w oil as it has 5w as standard, also makes a huge difference in handling!

Bog Height Rd... you were within a half mile from my house.
You could have all popped in for a brew. I think I have enough mugs.

cheers Dezzie. cant believe youve not sold your Skyteam yet, its mint!!.

Was there any T80's on show?
I need to consider getting a Honda C90 for next year, the Yamaha does not really fit in on C90 rides.
Riding a small light bike improves your riding skill, much more satisfaction blasting through country lanes on a lightweight IMHO.

t-80's as well as any other bike have been welcome on all the c-90 runs Ive been on dave.

That's true Mark they are very welcoming, but it's a bit like turning up on a Roller to a Jag fest.

Tell me about it, folks want owt for nowt, its cost me 3 grand, barely run in, shitloads of spares, time and custom work but folk would rather buy shite for 500 quid then triple that on parts to make something nowhere near as nice as mine, most of them thick as shite!

When I used to go on those rides I always liked to see the 'cousins' - Townmates, Innovas, monkeys etc. I've been on some dos where there were more people on other bikes than Cubs!
