A Case of Fettling and a New Nose Job
The wobbly front fairing has gone and has been replaced with a simple MRA screen with natty spoiler that during proving trials at 1.5 miles per minute (erhem officer the speedo of my aunt appears to overread too much) at it's "up" setting directed a turbulent (and noisy) but low pressure air blast at my helmet and at it's low setting ensured my head was in clean but fast air: In other words pretty pointless. The replacement battery strap that Vines of Guildford failed to produce after 3 weeks but Williams of Manchester russled up with 12 hours notice (well done Claudine Customer Service Advisor) proved more of a challenge in key hole plier and spanner techniques.
