Of course, the good thing is that you don’t have to give it back when you retire.

Not just modern spark plugs. I had a lambretta in the early 70's. If it didn't start on the 3 or 4th kick change the plug and then it was fine. I used to carry several spare plugs.

Always had a pair of safety shoes under my desk to change into. Had to have these when going into the factory etc.

Pull fuel pipe off and check fuel coming out when pump is supposed to be running pull a plug and check it is sparking. give up and use the MV Augusta

When you download from MRA to a SatNav device (Garmin or TomTom) you do need to check closely as the satnavs will use their own algorithm to join the waypoints which sometimes differs from the MRA route.

@Lucifer have a look at MyRoute-App. There is a free version or you can pay for add on options which can include a “satnav” option to run on your phone. This covers UK and Europe. The plotted routs can then be down loaded to Garmin or Tom Tom if you want or you can use the myroute guide on your phone. probably worth a look. Dont forget to check any visa requirements days allowed in EU countries and of course insurance and breakdown / recovery services.

There you are

Seems like this village vicar spends more time in the pub and on the bike than the church.

@ChrisBiggsUK I was pondering the same question yesterday after 190 miles. I’m usually ok but haven’t done too many long rides this year. I’ve looked at those shorts and wondered. I think you should get some then you can be the forum guinea pig. .

Long ride out for 3 tags and a good breakfast (at 1:45) at Moss End Garden Village.

South Midlands # 10 National Trust Sharpenhoe SouthMidlands # 11 Wendover Woods South Midlands # 12 Moss End Garden Village ( and a breakfast and coffee was had)

Part number for master cylinder is 43015-1088. so you need to do a search on that part number. A Quick Look shows that the GPZ550 uses part number 43015-1085 which appears to replace the -1088. the Z1300 also seem to use the same M/C

I still have stuff for a bike I haven't had for about 10 years.

As @Yorky said. Distinguished Gentlemans Ride. They had a meet at Broadway in the Cotswolds. Just leaving when I saw them.

Had 2 races, finished 6th in both. First time out this year so it was a bit of a shake down after last changes to last seasons set up.
