Nah, even a good road bike can be changed to an excellent track bike- see SFC

Not quite.

Lynmouth bike night, we went the long way ( 60 mile round) as it was a lovely night.Guzzi 1000s isn’t mine but great to see another one. Lady reckons there were nearly 300 bikes- mostly modern bikes. Must do something about lights on the GT, that or feed the glow worm before I go out.

Hi Marnix,
I notice on your 73 SFC your not using the exhaust bracket under the sump plate.
So I assume it's not really necessary???
Reason I'm asking is I brought one of Red's sump plates with magnetic sump plug but it won't fit with that exhaust mount.
Not necessary then?????
That bike looks fantastic by the way. Besides the front hub and discs and mag primary cover what else is different?
Also noticed the oil cooler.

Mine was never fitted. It did tens of thousands of kilometres like that.

Had a factory 2/1 for 25 years, Rob - I bought that bracket but never fitted it. Still sitting in my parts box.

You guys aren't doing 24h endurance events. Those risks are considered though when racing...

Four Triples at The Huntsman, this evening.
One of them was a Suzuki, though.

What suddenly struck me (other than the nice 1000!) is how much the fuel tank, both in shape and paint style, on the MV behind it remind me of my R90S fuel tank :O

That's because you're trying to justify owning a BMW.

When the chance presents itself. Checking out a cycling route, buying gelcoat for the kayak, 200km later.

Hey ho,
first ride together since about 14 Years.
One triple more back on the road (the left one of a friend).
I tell you the sound of the two was quite impressive :-D

At least it's not overrated orange Daytona Orange... Got nearly full grey hair at age 32 -figured a BMW would fit that prefectly!(currently a few years short of 50)

Despite the little niggles, still snuck in ~100km -some really odd riding groups of motorcyclists this morning somehow! I was a bit later than usual, reminded me why I leave early usually Still a nice ride

Saturday Show at legendary Deeley’s Harley Davidson, as part of their 45 yr museum open house, in East Vancouver. The Hodaka Ace 100 was truly special, mint, 100 point bike!

Bank Holiday (public holiday in England) sunshine.
Too good to waste, so down to Rye and Dungeness, with my Daughter on the back.
