We rode a challenging 191-068 where we were past by a youngish lad on a 4T newish Honda - riding at a very sedate and sensible pace. He smiled but didn't stop to chat and was alone. Was that anyone from here? We also rode part of -073 be...

I then tried every hour or so from 09:00 to get through but gave up each time after 15 minutes or so on hold. I let it...

Flat tracker has developed a poor running rear cylinder and before I go and find another expensive ignition system I would like to borrow a compression tester please to rule out valve problems. The rear cylinder is firing but not putting out much in the way of heat compared to the front cylinder.
