Made it with no police interference, despite riding past the M11 police compound. I think I have definitely loosened the engine up, hit 65mph with ease this time, I reckon by the time it's done 500 miles it'll just touch 70 on the level. It's owner should've done her bike test by then (next week) so it'll have to have it's first/running in service. Best not to interfere with it before, might be bad luck.

I toughened the bike up for a newbie rider, replaced the steel handlebars with Renthals, fitted lever protectors/brush guards and crash bars. Also fixed the ropey front numberplate mount that the shop supplied which let it swivel around at any speed above 20mph.
