I thought they'd closed that due to the levels of traffic. That rumour surprised me due to the low levels but I guess it's all relative. I did it a few years ago. We blocked the road with about 20 Blackbirds. A local in his car just came and chatted to us for the couple of mins we were taking pics. All very chilled. :thumbup:

There is a sign up at the junction stating 'buses only',so they are limiting numbers,but it was 8am and no one about so no harm done. :lol:

Went to the Bike Night at the local VFW Wednesday evening, 20 Harleys, a Gixer & my ZRX.

Every time I looked over at my ZRX there was a group of people looking at it. Got nothing but compliments & quite a few questions about it. The rear wheel eccentrics seemed to confuse them.

The best chain adjuster ever. I've loved them from the 900R days. :thumbup:

Did you tell them how you rotated them 180 degrees to raise the rear ride height and sharpen up the steering?

Yup. A couple of them couldn't figure out how the axle stayed in place. They thought it was all one piece of thick bar only secured by the Ping! Fuckit at each end. Took some explaining that one end was actually a round nut.
