Well, yesterday I ventured to the frozen northern outreaches of Humberside to collect the TS50 in a borrowed vehicle with a borrowed trailer (cheers again Pip), having never towed anything before in my life. Humberside is a good deal further north than I had envisaged, and it was bloody cold. Anyway, the wee beastie reached speeds on the trailer it was never designed to withstand [1], but made it home without falling off. After a very quick (and noisy) blat around the green it is now nestling next to the 'onda in my shed. I feel some festive fettling coming on over the Christmas break. [1] 50mph -- Oldbloke 2000 Honda CB500, 1991 Suzuki TS50 (m'boy's) BOTAFOT #140 "He's like Robbo's chubby kid brother"
In uk.rec.motorcycles, Oldbloke said: Not difficult. I got an indicated 72mph out of mine by the time I'd finished
In uk.rec.motorcycles, Whinging Courier said: Actually, who GAF whether it was indicated or not? All this bollocks about indicated speeds gets on my fucking tits cos the pedants say it's so. Get a big bore kit, some racing reeds, a nice pipe and silencer and you won't go far wrong. I didn't forget to mention the up-jet and K+N did I?
