I'd say it is that scratch! Bike is just not the same since!

Only joking, it's a savage looking bike and must have been quite hard to make that decision! Hope you and the Mrs. recover quickly.

Cheers Ed, thats very helpful.

Hope you get it sorted and it's nothing serious!

Just seen your magical mystery mini spin on the way back lol, looked like fun

The Don

Looks like it was a great day out! Sorry I couldn't come now but I had to go to a friends engagement party.

The footage is great and i don't want to spoil it for ye but there's a lot of 'evidence' there should someone decide to do ye Maybe better to bring it to pm...

I'm not even sure if they can use your own videos against you in Ireland yet.

Cienciano

Lack of use? Seemed like he was getting out on it regularly. Lovely bike, definitely something I'd have in the garage if I won the lotto.

Richard tea

Wonda - that chest mount position aint too shabby. Might look into it myself. My helmet is the best position but can cause problems on windy days.

Zascar

I had a go with the chest mount but it was just staring at the tank. I was told you mount it upside down and it gets a better angle - I'm going to try it again. I also bought some new mounts so it gets higher up as I'm very leaned over on my bike.

I looking at getting a chest mount too but I was worried it would be too low.
You might let us know get on with the mounts you are getting Zascar.

LookBehindYou

Wonderburger had a chest mounted go pro, and it failed.:)
Be careful how you mount the gopro on the chest mount.

Wonda-Boy

Lads the chest mount is the best thing I bought, WELL WORTH IT....I have other vids from the mount and they are perfect view is brilliant and no real wind noise. Dont let my one **** up put you off. Its just I knocked the fricken camera on the spin. I will post up a bit of it when it works.

BTW,

You can have the harness sitting as high as you like, I usually have it just under my chin high torso and its fab. Or you can have it mid belly if on some big cruiser or the loike! Its totally customizable with the straps.

Are you going to remain bikeless? That milage isn't too bad if you're not commuting and just going out on nice days. Not great if you're touring!

Meant to be touring but it just wasn't happening. That and I doubt I'll be driving much for the moment. We have the Rocket III and a Gixer 750 SRAD. The gixer is staying for the moment anyway.

you could see clearly blue smoke going out from your left exhaust mate. and everytime you downshifted to overtake it popped flames and the smoke was very intense to be honest... i can tell as i was behind you all the way to portlaoise :eek:

when we left the petrol station it was most noticable... it was like a diesel car... i dont know much but i guess it can be top end.... sorry bro... i hope you get her sorted.

Ed, Ive given your observations to my mate who's a mechanic and it really helped in diagnosing whats up with the engine. We're (he's)going to do the rings and valve stem seals, and since he's going in that far take a look at the piston.
The thing is it still drives very fluidly but I'm putting in a litre of semi synth for every 1000km, which is a joke.
Thanks again for your help, and The-Chap too, (brutal with names Andy?)
I owe you guys a burger

the best present for me will be driving behind you with no danger of being intoxicated

i am glad that you are going to sort her out... let us know what was causing the problem... we may learn new things.

on other hand.. twins are known by eating a little oil... but nothing like 1L every 1000Km... thats way over...

once again good luck.

Its all Karma Ed, remember we were on the Poker Run and I spotted your old bike (Aprilla) doing the same. One good deed deserves another.....fair play.
