well went out for a proper quick spin tonight, rather than a ride up the road, for the first time since october, wrist is still bad so strapped it as much as i could.
got the bike out and that started 3rd kick, not bad for sitting for two months and still having the same fuel in it as it did last october.
a little 5 mile jaunt across to a mx track where they have regular practices on a wednesday night, didn't even try to ride it, but a couple of mates had a go, both of whom are good riders.
both came off raving about the suspension compared to their ktms which made me grin as i've set it up myself.
the only complaint they had was that it didn't seem to have the pull out of corners but when i was watching them i could see that the one lad, who normally rides a 530 ktm, was lugging, it try to ride it like his ktm rather than revving it a bit more.
and the other reckoned it was just down to the fact that it was geared higher than his 450 ktm and a bit high for the track.
all in all a rather pleasent evening. sitting on a hill side watching bikes racing around.
