SE night ride/SQL's massive puncture.

[_Iain_]

Photo's from last night/this morning. Had a laugh

Basicly about three miles out of dymchurch I was behind SQL, we came round a left hander & there was a massive bang & he wobbled a bit. I honestly thought the chain had gone as i'd just sorted him out a new C&S set from work and forgotten to bring it with me

However it soon turned out to be something a bit more significant;

Ah, so maybe something with a massive head & tiny point? He then pulled it out

Game over, called ##Paddy## as him wotsthestory & Zombeh had made it to the beach. (i'll rip a few pics & stuff from the s/e thread for the benifit of all.)

Was fun, I still can't believe that thing was all the way in

Still covered in flies now.

[P.]

Indicated 80 and at the rev limiter so 74.5mph on the GPs, 2 up on a 125... like a boss

Bol T'or?

Looks like you had a good ride

Shame about the puncture though, they do suck. Looks to big to have made a temp repair too!

Riding at night and in the early hours when the roads are clear is great fun isn't it!

My pic posted full size. Grabbed from the video, obviously riding towards the sun (eventually) but you can clearly see the camera flash. It indeed flash at least half a dozen times.https://i1312.photobucket.com/albums/t525/wotsthestory/SpeedCamera_zpsf6b125f5.jpeg~original

I realy must have the only computer in the world that displays all of those pics fullsize. Will edit again

Hopefully my shoddy posting skills have made stuff work properly now.

That vara is quite quick for a 125 it holds its speed well.

[P.]

It is a superb little motor especially given the mileage

[wots]

Can't beat 70K+ Mile Hondas

I was quite surprised it was plenty quick, even 2 up!!

I think the bandit would have been much faster if it had the binding brake tied off corners on that must have been sketchy.

[Zombeh]

Nice photos.

2x 70k+ mile bikes, 1x 50k+ miles bike. Proper bikes, proper mileage.

That Triumph is lovely. I just missed out on a 750 on ebay. 11k miles and it went for £800.

Next time, I'll make sure to bring the R1 so you can screw with that, just bring the DRZ yeah

Seem like a sane chap anyway

[SQL]

I'd have a crack at the R1

[Zombeh]

[wots]

I want to have a go on an R6 or a 600RR first. Natural progression.

It just doesn't seem like a fair trade, for you that is. You'd be better off with the NTV, surely? More reliable for a start
