1,000 miles at last.

The chinese beeatch motorcycle has finally reached 1,000 miles



It's taken a while because I only travel 1.3 miles to work, that and the fact that for the first 500 miles I was limited to 30 mph ( ish ) and after the first oil change at 500 miles I been allowed to get to the heady heights of 40 mph
So I've been using her just to get the mileage up which has been a pain, to celebrate this mile stone I've just dropped the oil again :



All over the drive again DOH



Way hey I can now cruise at the heady heights of 55mph @ 7,000rpm.
She tops out at around 75mph and 11,000 rpm, but I tried 65 mph last week and with the Chinese Death Slider off road tyres is just too lethal

Sounds like the near bald Avons on the back of the IROC, affectionately known as Hedge Hunters....

I think I can honestly say I have NEVER driven anything as bad at 65mph
Their are no engine mounts so above 5,000rpm the whole bike just vibrates and you can't focus on the clocks ( delete Ann Summers joke ).
I was on a dead straight level good surface road in the dry sunshine and at 65mph it was just wandering right across the road and seemed to ignore any steering input
I was going to hold out for 70mph but my bottle went

It's great round town though

Im glad it has made 1000, I had my doubts




Seems to have been worth the risk...Nice one

Well done, Mate.

Why do you use a oil catch-can if you just end up pouring it on the drive way anyway ?



Suppose I should change the oil in the Chav'scort . . . . . . .
