          @Giles:

          Instructor thought I looked stupid on his 125, so he made me do the test on a Kawasaki ZS750…..I passed

          Congrats!

            Unfortunately not.  In UK.  I am now only legally allowed to ride a 125 until I pass 2 more computer tests and 2 more practical tests…...And it has to wear L plates....

                  When I was originally going to take my test, beer was 11P for a mild and 12P for a bitter.  My BSA 250 Star blew up 2 days before my test, I did not rebuild it in time and then life took over…....

                  It was like this.  I sold it for GBP100.......

                      I haven't had much time to do much on my Bonneville for ages, so it's been sitting in pieces while I've been changing pipes and a few other bits and pieces.  I got sick of this state of affairs so decided to put her all back together this weekend so I can actually ride again.  I started her up for the first time with the new Zard Cross pipe…. shoots a 2 foot blue cone of flame out the back! Didn't expect that, but looked pretty amazing!  Sounds pretty phenomenal too 🙂

                      Well done on jumping through the first hoop G 🙂

                              Well, this evening I went out to the garage with the GoPro, set it up, hit the starter button…. No flame. 
                              Just sweet, sweet, exhaust noise.
                              . 
                              I must say I'm a bit disappointed, I was looking forward to flames every time I start it.  Maybe on down shifts I'll get some.
