Mine has a piece of rubber clearly fashioned from inner tube. Not pretty with a big knot in it but effective.

Cool but why the drum? Is e restricted on the bike's age?

Ah. So that spare I've squirreled away "just in case" isn't rare or special!

Is it the same as a 350 one? I replaced mine with locking one so should have to non locking one in a box somewhere . . .

Yeah, they're all like that!
Green laning you'd be running about 12 psi so you have plenty of scope to experiment.

Hang on you've missed out a few of the greats . . .

Silver Machine - Hawkwind
Ghost Rider - Rush

and of course:

Box Hill or Bust

Cowshit Under Me Wheels - Dumpy's Rusty Nuts

I know from Guzzi (etc) forums (fora?) that experience with Motobatts is VERY polarised however!

There has been a lot of talk of fake Motobatts.

I think I almost certainly greeted and possibly shook hands with everyone marshalling the whole 150 miles? I'm just waiting on the results to be published now-as I can't remember which of the hills I actually made it to the top of? I think I only managed a clean on one of them as even a single foot...

Ref the flag waving marshals. Yes there were a number of different classes, only 2 of them had to do the stop/restart on the flag signal. I was in the 'fall here' class. I was very good at this, even if I say so myself and there is enough video evidence! I thought you just wanted to say hello so I ...

May have missed a Kanguroo?
