Update on the first few days of a moped riding offspring (for those interested)

I'm frightened.

 

Excellent.

 

By Heather?

Or is it performance anxiety?

 

And we were grateful for it.

Oh, and we were allowed to speed and ride our bikes pissed too.

 

Combine the two, and ... oh my god. I don't know how Cane manages it.

Cor dunnit. When My Baby got her CG and I borrowed it for a few days to
bang up and down to London it was among the most scary rides I have ever
had. No acceleration in a traffic full environment is a fucking issue.

I shan't be riding anything as small as that ever again.

 

I just want to ride her.

To the best of my knowledge, and my eternal relief, this is a feeling
which does not appear to be reciprocated.

 

I always know when you're lying, Steve...

Elly's FZ400 rat-bike wears the original exhaust off Toseland's first
ever race CB500. It was taken off a new bike when a race can was fitted
and lobbed in a box, from where I managed to liberate it.

Well in the frame for treason, then:

Does it look fast?

 

Not so much fast - as odd, really. The Rat is a strange little
critter, and was possessed of a strangely polyphonic howl as it
disappeared up the road. It certainly didn't hang about once the revs
were up and the pilot was intent on pushing on a bit; but it has been
a bit quiet and slow since the conrod knocked a bit of crankcase out.

It'll look a **** sight faster with a CBR600 motor in it, though.

Forget the full on race bike, that's Godlike. I so wish I could do
something like that.
