 ;D Good luck Ray!
My Speed Triple always sounded mechanically noisy, even with an aftermarket pipe. Just the natural Triumph sound I think.

I'll let you know what happens.
Are you going to the F+H dinner, maybe with Tazet?

The Fox & Hounds MCC reunion bash? No, can't make it unfortunately. If my house sale goes through & I get the money in the next week or two, Tazzie & I will be off to the States for a last minute holiday.

Congratulations Ray.  ;D
The house sale's suddenly got a bit more complicated, (& stressful), with the original buyer dropping out & another jumping in the same day. That'll probably set the final completion date back a few weeks, so no idea what we'll be doing on the night of the F & H dinner now. Yup, a trip to the good ol' US of A if we can swing it, but unlikely now as it's less than 3 weeks away.  :(
