Re: Two wheels good.
I put another few miles on 14 today, I seem to have got it running about right. Still a little thirsty I think, but I lot better than it's been for a while. Now I've got used to riding it again it's just like finding an old pair of slippers that still feel better than the replacements.

Free keyring from the Navywings charity. I've got a Tarnato 80 one on the Sprint from the same place. They were doing it to promote their lottery that I play anyway.

Re: Two wheels good.
I didn't bother to check, I am truly grateful for the correction.

Re: Two wheels good.
Decent mileage on that Hooli. Who says Suzuki's have a crap finish?
My 1987 GSX-R750H managed a tad over 180,000 miles before it was smashed to pieces avoiding a gypsy u-turning his Transit pick up. I clipped the kerb and it barrel rolled a few times destroying itself. I also found that I could not run at 50 mph.
The bike looked fine pre accident, but behind the shiny panels it was suffering from rotting wiring connections, and an increasing appetite for wheel bearings.
Replaced it within days with a 1995 GSX-R750F which was fucking horrible. I had thought it would be like putting on old slippers, but it was more like putting on a pair of winkle pickers two sizes too small. Sold it straight after after my first 60 mile commute to work.
