A photo you took, today

[Nigel]

Are there any good riding roads in Norfolk? It always seems so flat, it's hard to imagine that there's much in the way of twisties.

No hills just slopes as I tell the locals only lived here 40 odd years so still an incomer
The north Norfolk coast road has plenty of bends and some gravel to keep you alert, not a fast road with some small villages but stunning coast line.
Sunday morning up through Swaffham, Fakenham to Wells, coffee in the Deli, along the coast to Blakeney., bacon butty at the quay side, ride to Norwich and then home

I did some work on my Himalayan and needed to run it in, I ended up doing some local trails that I've not ridden since selling my enduro bike over 5 years ago. Not quite so clean but good fun

WOW Has he actually found a bike that he rides and keeps for longer than 5 minutes (it's a 15 plated machine)?
And where is Franco hiding in the photo? Or has he shrunk and is actually standing on the other side of the bike?
Or is he away looking at another bike to buy

How you keeping Al?

3 of the Final Drive bearings were OK to go some more, but the big Wheel/crownwheel ball bearing was dead, water had got in to it, it has no seal protecting it from the elements relying only on a metal flange and its own integral "seal" -crap, later models changed design and are sealed into the casing and oiled by it. lasted around 22 months yes I use the bike quite hard but that is not good enough. Conversely the wheel bearings are orginal in excess of 120k miles and 16 years old, PPL made in Poland, still running smoothly but just a hint of rock on the wheel..
