Summers Ride in Time for October

Friday, September 30, 2011

Tonight I met up with a buddy and went out for a ride as I hadn't been out in a few days. Although I was feeling pretty lousy I wanted to have a blast whilst the sun is shining as Britain is still enjoying this record heat that has hit us over the past week. As it's getting dark around 1930hrs we set off early and had a ride around the lanes. After spending the afternoon cleaning and polishing the bike I got it ready to go out.
We parked up near Bumble Bee lane outside Sharnford so I took a few pics. I'd already discovered that as the weather is so humid the bike was suffering from heat soak.
My buddy parked up his Kawasaki 636 so I took a few pics too. It's pretty mad to think that the Kawasaki is 16 years newer than mine.
We then went for a bit of a blast around some of the finest A roads around our way that we could find. We ended up near Lutterworth so we parked up and got some more pics, as well as a couple of vids of the FZR.
My rear indicators have been slightly loose for a while now, but today the left hand side one tried to escape. Not to worry, when I got home I found some washers and put it back on. All the winkers will soon be replaced with 4DX indicators anyway.
Video time. The video below shows what the Coerce Race pipe sounds like when the engine is being revved when not under load.

The next video shows what the pipe sounds like when the bike is under load. My mate filming said that the camera really doesn't do it justice. After all, it does say '98db' on the pipe!
