Does it feel? My betty has been on the road now three days, been to the lakedistrict today and ran back down some country lanes I know, it feels so good, sticks like glue, 60mm and toyos, one hiccup though speedo works when it wants to, show correct speed and allbut very intermitant. Still felt real good. Had to share this, on a real high, next BMW show? prefferable northish Manchester way?
Thanks to all the advice and parts supplied through the zone, love it.
Regards Mark.
HOW GOOD

ive only been on here a few months and ive yet to see a post about a north west meet.
the road from windermere to m6 is a good road in the evenings once the day trippers gone home, i just drove along it from grasmere to kendal and back at about 35-40mph
some people seriously shouldnt be on the road!

Very true it is, I am from Preston, not far, not next door, but not far. I know what you mean Sunday loads of proper Sunday drivers! Really no need police speed traps is there! Either way lucky you living in the lakes, love it up there.

Yeah its a lovely spot if you like walking, just frustrating driving so slow sometimes.
if the winter isnt to harsh i'll wait till then to go on some good drives. (hopefully petrol ill be cheaper by then too!)
