Loosing the power

Refitted repaired panel to Mr T, rode to Crescent to collect a part, came back and rode CBF. Washed and polished both bikes.
Noticed the CBF exhausts need the Solvol treatment again. Must try the ACF50 on them next time.

Fitted new rear wheel bearings on the rear wheel!

Had a great ride out today and had a visit to a bike dealers and parked my bum on a few machines that I could actually mount . I liked the Indian scout but preferred the victory version the octane for its looks .

Can't remember which website I logged onto but £1000 off a new victory model and Polaris have guaranteed parts/warranty for next ten years. I'm sure a better deal could be done

I will be keeping my eye out for a good deal I think .I do however think Polaris are just going to rebrand to Indian to give them more prestige especially as I can't see them just wasting a great product . The Indian scout is very similar but rear suspension travel is not good for two up riding . Yet I still really enjoy the srv so I might just stick with that .

Guy at the end of the road who visits and Ive not had a chance to chat with has an Indian dark Horse and it certainly looks moody and sounds great.

Picking up my newly painted panels tomorrow, got sent some pics today, its gorgeous, also stripped my seat and trimmed some foam off for rebuild.

Bought a new set of Dr Pulleys, Brisk Plugs, Belt, and bunch of other stuff for a service. She's ticking over purrfectly but just in case
