Herts, Beds & Bucks Ducatisti meet part II - Sat 16th August: 16 Aug 08

[Masher]

Sorted my starting problem, the actuator connector to the solenoid was a bit corroded and the female conectors had opened up.
Had all of the fairing of today cleaned and silicon greased all of the connectors and nipped up the female connector on the solenoid.
Hopefully she wont embarrass me again like that!

Yep,the 660 road is 'orrible one you get past the bends out of Holme.The long straight with the big barns on the left is the worse.
Its far better to turn off the 660 as it crosses the A1,.then down the link road past Sawtry and on to the Abbots Ripton road.Turn left in the village towards Kings Ripton and pick up the 1040 at St.Ives.

Triple9, i think the pace was a little sedate for Rob he was keen to get off at speed me thinks lol.

Yep,that would be right!
I taught him everything you know,...........or not!
