Check point Surrey !!!

In between the showers me Alan and Keith managed a run along the usual routes,stopped off for a break at the Kent surrey boarder for passport checks . The CCM needs a few adjustments ,suspension is one ! the rear is too soft and front to hard......... or maybe its a case of too many Dougnuts .

All Change .

Well after a dissapointing summer so far and limited time on the road , there has been a change round of some peoples bikes ! Tonys rather nice looking KTM690 SM and JOHN (AGAIN) on his KTM ADVENTURER ,My CCM has had a few updates ,REMUS race can ,K&N FILTER and a re-jet.

A COSMETIC RE-VAMP

Summers almost here so time for a bit of a spring clean and a tidy up of the bike ,after 2 years of ownership and 3 uk winters a bit of a change was need , fork shrouds removed ,crash bars gone and a new mudguard added ,i think it freshens it up quite nicely and gives it a bit of a lean look compared to the standard bike .

Yamaha xt660x at lydden hill

A new addition CCM R30 , its in standard form at the moment but when money is available i am planning to give it a bit of va va voom .

KENT/SUSSEX MEET

One of the hottest day of the year so far ! (april 2007)so what better way to enjoy a bank holiday with a little ride on our favourite roads .

XTX MEETS THE GARDEN OF ENGLAND

What more can you ask for ? One of the hottest July's in the history of the UK so it was time for a ride through the glorious Kent countryside and some fantastic winding roads,here are a few pictures.

A cosmetic update

Ok new bits to date,the handle bar grips have been change for a set of grey and black two tone progrips,these are a very soft compound compared to the original.
Another set of barend mirrors have been added also as the previous set where to fragile and buzzed to much to be effective ,a pair of motrax ones now adorn the bike and........................ they are excellent ,visibility at all times,the only problems is when filtering through traffic ,i will have to be a bit careful.
I have also got round to changing the tank panels for a set with no decals on and i have added some mesh panels to the panels cut out sections.
Engine wise i have had the engine set up on a dyno with a custom map,mid range punch has improved and the low down surging has almost disappeared.

BAREND MIRRORS

Another addition to the xt ,some rather natty barend mirrors,after a bit of grinding and drilling they fitted quite well and i think they clean the handle bars up well.
