Twist of fate made me go a different way today, corner in Simonsbath I normally come down the hill to a blind left- I approached from other direction so saw this gravel early! More observant of you will realise the Cows are in fact Devon Ruby Reds- proof I have crossed the border. I fancied looking at the old Coastgaurd station, turns out it’s a path not a road…heather one side , grass the other, Wales in background.

Run-in and shakedown run for the Q. 300km of twisties on a clear and cold day through the mountains. Running beautifully ... save an odd noise at very random and occasional times - will investigate tomorrow. Pic 1: Maroondah Reservoir lookout . Pic 2: the infamous Reefton Spur - only one car between Marysville and down the other side of the Reefton - no cops either!! Super!

What odd noise? I’m intrigued
Not exactly wet weather rubber Q. Pretty close to a slick. I put a cable tie on one of my rear shock shafts, occasionally sound might be something rubbing on big bumps. I am hoping to do a few test laps around my block tomorrow, my shocks are so much more complicated now with the harder springs but much less preload to get better sag.

Noise is definitely motor related. Suspension felt fantastic today. Haven't touched it since I made a few small changes at The Island last December.
Tyres don't have a lot of tread but have plenty of grip, even on the damp bits. On the green mossy bits I just decided I wasn't even going to investigate the concept of grip!!

Oh no, you don't want unspecified noises after disassembly/assembly, your ears have probably grown a lot! I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it's just a minor thing!So am I!! Hopefully I can trace it tomorrow and it's nothing deep and serious

Nice day so decided to take the 100 Sport for a run, the first for awhile, so it took a bit of coaxing into life. Having warmed it up, I then remembered I hadn’t adjusted the clutch cable as intended. On the previous ride I had found the clutch wasn’t quite disengaging properly when pulling in the lever. So out with the spanners to slacken off the adjuster at the front of the engine and promptly burnt the inside of my forearm on the exhaust, 
Having applied a liberal amount of cold water on the afflicted limb I did manage to complete the adjustment and at least the clutch is behaving now.

Takes a bit of getting used to.I would have let him ride the Guzzi.

He's already ridden the SFC and the SF2, so now he's got a good idea of Laverda's finest.
