Transformed the handling.

Welcome back. What have you been up to?
You really need only two tools: WD-40 and duct tape. If it doesn't move and it should, use WD-40. If it moves and shouldn't, use the tape.

Triple 8 one of my favourite bikes off all time, never owned one but did have a m8 who did, we used to go to Le Mans 24hr in a large group and I must say when Ashley was on his 888 and I was on my ZXR750 I always thought Roche and Russell early SBK :mrgreen:

Looks much better with the rear pegs removed and the race exhaust fit. What is the make of system, I couldn’t make it out from the pit pic ?

@popsky I can just picture you two :bounce: I watched a WSBK race from Donnington 1992 the other day and those two were both on track, great days 8)

I do remember this bit of road near Dorchester, between 2 roundabouts, uphill 2 lane and flat out, my ear was literally next to his zorst bloody marvellous.

https://goo.gl/maps/zh27o7eapMFayQQq9

When we got to France the route was Cherbourg St-Lo Vire and plenty of backroads to Le Mans, iirc we had 20+ bikes that year with me as “leader” :roll: obviously someone was gonna get lost which they did, 2 peeps made a break for it and Ash on his triple 8 followed, next village he was stopped by the gendarmes, not for speeding as we initially thought but a report of a red Ducati that had been stolen lol, I can’t quite remember the whole story but he might have had to do a fair bit of explaining in his chicken French to be allowed on his way. The upshot of it was when we’d arrived at the hotel there were the 2 who’d shot of from the ferry the 2 who’d got lost and Ash.
We the rest of the group had waited in a town for the 2 lost and Ash to catch up, but there’d already found each other and taken a bypass around us, I can’t remember who got the beers in but a great weekend was had by all :D
