Getting ready

Out on MVD yesterday to give it a shake down before my euro trip which starts on thursday. The speedo isn't working so back to the shed and i've tried to make a good one out of the load i've got lying around. Why are they so crap? I've ordered another but not a genuine one as they are twice the price and just as bad. Apart from that and getting a good soaking its fine. Getting the tools and spares sorted out today, not travelling with Alex so i need to take everything. What an amount of stuff i have to take. The weight will knock a few mpg off g think. The plan all going well is norton meeting in Germany on friday, back to Belgium for the bba cafe racer meet Saturday and Sunday then France for a couple of days before heading to see my friend Hessel in Groningen in the north of Holland for my birthday hopefully joined by some of the Perth guys en route to the moto gp in assen. Updates on progress as always on here.

  1. Sounds like a great trip you have planned. It seems recently I saw that someone is making new electronic/digital? replacements for speedos and tachs, that are identical in appearance to the originals. Was it in Classic Bike magazine...? I'll have to find it. I buy too many mags.

  2. It's in the May issue of CB on page 12. Made by Smiths, and they have electronic drive. Says they are intended to offer reliabity...they better at the prices they are asking!
