Quick story from last weekend. Ross in the lead pulls over at a Pub 60ks from the destination parking in full view so Marty can see and stop. As he is in buying a beer some one parks close to Ross,s bike and Marty sails past.
We get to Tocomwal well behind both and then hear Marty thinks Ross in in front and well ups the speed thinking Ross will get any Police attention and Ross also ups the speed thinking Marty will get the same.What do good friends do,luckily there were no cops about so it was bloody funny to hear.Both used a lot of throttle.

we are having really odd early spring weather here, with a heat wave of mid 20's Celsius, highs of 27 C, truly amazing. Supposed to be warm all week, yeah! Got out on the 79 1200 Mirage for a several hour ride today, bike is running really well, true pleasure to ride, ride was lovely and mechanically uneventful other than now a broken speedo cable to match the broken tacho cable I just replaced. Good thing I bought a couple of those inexpensive tacho/speedo cable inners replacement the other day!

You brought your weather with you ?
been out on Sophia tonight on her Spanish plate :-\
Started on the button and all systems go !
Very stable and once moving no hint of any weight - handles a treat and very comfortable even though the seat is firm - shocks doing a good job - plenty of torque - 5,6,7 k produces a nice howling from the engine - a total 180 to the 180

I like the Ducati seat better as well from your photos. Whichever seat you choose, either seat needs to be raised higher or the SFC tank needs to be made to sit lower....

Rode it!! as hadnt done a lot of miles of late needed some to get some riding in so went on the CIMAA run today to Wollendilly some show on...now lets see CIMAA has a membership of well over 300 members...two of us turned up, Gary on the Ambassador and me.. got there and parked next to an SS drama... so that made one Lav, one Guzzi and one Duck amongst British and Yank bikes and cars.. .some real nice Chev's and a genuine Charger ex pursuit car complete with the original bill of sale to the NSW police..
oh and I learnt what a door closed respray is... pretty crap if you ask me.
The Cico ran great it's rapidly become the sentimental favourite... got home around 1ish full of flu and spent a few hours sorting out Vince's wiring and trying to pin down the cause of that damn oil leak which pisses me off... perhaps we have nailed it now only time will tell.
Anyways ended up kicking Vince out and shutting the shed door and dosing up on flu tablets and Whiskey... good old Paddy's .........
