GT Bentley's meetup

[GAv]

 V Twins,my Ape Futura and lovely Buell too .I have been very tempted to get a Buel Lightning, however as the Ape 125 is ensconced in the shed, I got this Mille RSV to keep the Futura RST 1000 V Twin company, so now there are 3 Rotax engined Aprilias in the fleet.

Bloody L Gav, you went round that show so quick you should stay off the caffeine.

Hardly worth the entry fee when you can go round in 6 secs.

Last week I didnt go, the week before went on my 250, just to give it a run.

Got chatting to a young fella who wasnt happy that not only was my VanVan copy also called Raptor, the same as his Cagiva V1000, but that the Chinese could flagrantly disreguard copyright, but that didnt stop someone taking a photo of my machine, anyway it sings along and someone from Australia who plans a British tour and a Continental trip has indictaed an interest in buying the Skyteam.

I still havent finished all those little details delaying the Sachs being back on the road,albeit I made a Cagiva seat fit(just about) but having fitteda new battery to the Futura went to Great Bentley on that this Wedneday past.

I got there early and there was a fun fair setting up opposite the main green but not too much else going down.I know 2 strokes are popular on here and I am not sure what size this LC is.

I headed for a seat near the refreshments area, as I have now Atrial Fibrilation and am back on Warfarin and felt the need for a sit down.

Of course I had forgotten to bring it, and am supposed to take it around 18.00 every day, so having had a nice chat with a Gent who asked if the seat next to me was taken, and he had a Trike with an A series 1275 engine and auto boxw,I excused myself 

A whole gaggle of kids arrived on various gopeds and a small scooter, following the parent one presumes Father on some sort of Jap Chopper, sort of commandeering that pitch. Actually the leading kid was on a road legal pit bike not unlike my own. ONly nothing like as fast I'll wager.
Perhaps I'll get it out of the shed again and go on that(or wait till the circus comes to townapologise Bev for pinching your pic)

I was mindfull of H R H on seeing a little moped with a big top box go by, but thought I'd better get home and take my medicine, that after a rather exhilerating cross country blast.

Nothing like a bit of Atrial fibrillation to remind you that you're alive.

Custom bike interfering with your pacemaker ?

As for the kid on the pitbike, I'd guess his isn't carrying the same load.

Not half, anyways went to this venue on my 2 stroke Red Rose last afternoon evening , and after a cup of tepid dishwater coffee, in a plastic cup for a quid, a few more bike folk were arriving. Rice burners were confined to a disc braked Fizzy, and a couple of RDs, a round tank 250 and Coffin one a 400.
Having had a long chat with a Harley Fat Boy owner, he unlike me not an actual Fat Boy, I decided it was too nice an evening to sit about so left and went down to Colchester, then back through a Village on The Essex Suffolk boarder wherein my Mum used to have a Cottage, now pulled down, then up to Lawford Dale my previous place of habitation, seeing the new houses springing up behind that domain.
Supposedly Green Belt and a sort of nature reserve, come unofficial scrambling scrub land, great when the C90 was still running, before the ignition key dropped out and was lost so the bike had to be pushed up hill down dale, (visa versa in reality)then resided in the back of the Garage(now the shed here)
Anyway that hill leads down to The Smallest Town in England, Manningtree, so I passed the Sailing Club I am still a member of, alongside what they call The Walls, on through Mistley, past The Thorn where Witchfinder General Mathew Hopkins used to stay. and then alongside the road meandering alongside The River Stour, to Ramsey, the last village before Dovercourt, by whch time my derrier was getting numb and the chill factor taking its toll
I did see the red line down hill in sixth on the A12, but it was a case on the backroads with some hilly bits to play tunes on the gearbox keeping it on the boil.
OK with 20stone aboard perhaps I am expecting a bit too much , however it feels like there is something holding it back and I am not sure how they used to restrict these short of rejetting and shoving on an expansion pipe.

Gav,

      I know that the RS125 had the CDI restricted. There is a derestriction method for that. I'm not really sure what engine you have, if it's the same it's probably similar.
