Red tape trial

[hoveactually]

Yes, quite a number!

There was a nasty, slippery, rooty section where so many riders were crashing that I couldn't watch! I don't think that includes any of the Greeves riders.

Andy - nice pics. Unfortunately (or fortunately?) I never reached that section!! Yet again my lovely TDS didn't want to co-operate. At the entry to the 4th section it decided it wanted to go home!

Anyway I can report the loss of sparks was due to a dead LT coil behind the flywheel. My bike runs an energy transfer system and despite Capt Robs urgings to splash out on an Electrex electronic ignition, I'm going to persevere with a system I like. It worked a treat before it packed up - and no thats not salesman talk - a new LT coil is going in. Thats exactly what you'd expect from someone with Scots blood! - with apologies to any real Scots out there.

I think my bike was restored to show and its come as a bit of a shock now its being asked to get dirty.
