just what i was thinking - i'll give you a call when it warms up.

I'm up for a Bude Dyno day, I'v been wondering wether I'm running a little rich or weak since fitting the new engine so a dyno run would be helpful, especially at a reduced cost ( sorry to be a cheap skate but times is tough at the mo

).

I've got an open day at my shop (Total Triumph in Taunton) on Saturday 7th March, Jam will be there with his dyno all day doing runs at £20 a bike.
Have also got a pukka snack van coming, and the whole range of bikes up for demo, including the new Daytona 675 and the Street Triple R.
Everyone's welcome, and it would be great to put faces to names.

Age limit for our insurance is 21, but you also have to have a full licence, not restricted I'm afraid. Sorry
Still, come along and stick the R6 on the Dyno and have a bite to eat & a natter.

Please don't anyone ask me to dyno a Rocket3 'cos they are a real pain in the arse to get in and out of the truck, I've had one on there once, but it was a difficult operation getting it in and out safely without damaging either it or me!!.
I did have some joker roll up at Newton Abbot a couple of years ago with a Boss Hoss 7 litre thing and ask me to dyno it

, thankfully he was joking about it

I think the weight of it would have buggered me suspension up if I could have got it through the doors.

We Open at 9am, but by the time everything's set up I doubt much will happen before 9.30 - 10 ish

Pity, I must have missed you. We do have a Rocket 3 demonstrator, but not an America at the moment. You're welcome to try the Rocket if you're interested, they are great fun to ride..... Unique

Must have both parts of your licence with you though.

I sold my race engine yesterday, I agreed £450 with the guy, but he ripped me off for £50. £400 is better than I expected for an engine that needs work though, so not the end of the world. Can you drop my carbs off when you get a chance please?
