Can I ask, what heat plugs didi you put in? I am going to fit the Iridium and either Denso 27's which equal NGK 9's or a softer 24 which are 8's.
Cheers

Mikey,

Need to leave my gaff at 07-45am. I understand Mark has already decided to shit the bed in the early hours of the 20th. I think I'll take the Autopilot off me boat and fix it to the Old Gurl! Can't imagine I'll wake up til half way to the Ace. Best not cane the red the night before :(

Went down to Shire this morning on my Zed. lovely sunny days. Had to leave the Old Gurl down there, as I am waiting for a couple of bits arriving at his gaff tomorrow, so rode his wife's Suzuki 650 twin home. The bloody heaven opened and as I don't doing riding bikes in the rain I don't have any waterproofs - my old suit seems to have shrunk over the years ... must have got it wet hmmm. I haven't ridden a bike that modern before, really strange, sounded rather like a lawnmower, but very smooth and responsive and I am sure it'd go round corners very well. Still got wet :( Got ride it back in the morning and the forecast is for more of the same :cry: :cry: I'm a fair weather biker :evil:
