Anybody fancy a ride out this weekend?

Weather set fair for North Yorkshire but further North may be a bit damp.

Otherwise, anybody know of any events on this weekend?

Mike.

sorry Mike, I'd go esp' if youve got the corsaro on the road, but we've got the G'kids this weekend.

Hi george,

ok, no worries - spoil them rotten, fill 'em with e numbers and send them back...

I think a ride to Northumberland via t'Dales, Hartside, Alston etc and a blast back on the A1.

Yes, I will take the Corsaro, and it is a fantastic bike. I cannot believe the torque, it moves from any revs, 30 to 60? Flick of the wrist. It handles beautifully too. It feels as light as my old Hornet.

I set the rev limit light to 5,500 and I haven't seen it come on yet... I may have to raise that as I get more used to it.

How are you getting on adjusting the suspension? Looks a bit complicated to me....

Mike.

Hi Mike
When I first had the bike I was a b it doubtful about the front end and was concerned about the suspension, I left it not knowing exactly what to do and since I've replaced the rear tyre I feel a lot more confident. Seems you can take them to special setting companies, but I like it the way it is, maybe a little harder at the rear as it bottomed out whilst in Scotland. As I'm a hefty bloke maybe I should.
Cheers

Well, you all missed a stonking ride.

277 miles door to door, 45 mph average (according to the readout) - 3 seasons, all sorts of roads from motorway to single track with mud and stones. Dry roads, wet roads, damp roads. Some fantastic corners and best of all, very little traffic.

Home - Pateley Bridge - Grassington - Kettlewell - Hawes - Kirkkby Stephen - Hartside for lunch - Alston - Hexham - Corbridge - Stamfordham - Belsay - Morpeth - A1 home.

No map, no sad-nag.

George, I took a note of the suspension settings and the 'standard' setup from the manual for a 75kg rider and adjusted everything accordingly. It is much better now. Before it was too firm and I was being ejected from the saddle on bumpy roads. I can fine tune from here. The tyres are the original Pirellis and I really rate them, although the rear is a little flattened.

Mike.
