So long as the wheel is balanced, which it is I cannot see it would be a problem. To check beed allingnment you would really need to take the wheels off. The bike has intergalactic miles on it so would be surprised if they are completely true given the amount of pot holes it would have hit over it's...

Working I'm afraid.

We're both working and I don't have a bike with an MOT until next week. Enjoy

So I've now booked Monday 8th June at Castle Combe.

Well done Si top job.

I use a multi bike policy and been with all of the big bike insurance brokers. Generally they are all as shit as one another and trade in snake oil.

Go in the group you are comfortable in. There are so few people on track 12 in each group you have all the space in the world.

I'll probably do one or two at Combe this year but it'll be via MPS motorsport.

Get in touch, might be something of interest.

I have a Honda CB1000GT on order the new model for 2026. Won't be delivered until March/April and will then need to be run in first.

Not much to see at Trago2Wheels unless your bag is Chinese slowpeds. Also thought they had moved it into the main shop now but may be wrong.
