Out for a quick ride today passing through Cheddar Gorge ( where Cheddar cheese first came from ). Some good bends to negotiate .The bike handled these without problem at a nice pace . No peg grinding here ! have to keep an eye out for sheep on the road.

Turns out i cant take photos for shit , they will get better !




THe arrow points to Glastonbury Tor, historic place linked to the myths of King Arthur . will take a closer look some time in the future.

rode with gps and the speedo seems to be reading about 10 mph higher than gps speed

I guess there could be a bit of air in the brake but the lever doesnt "pump up" like a car foot brake does when theres air in the system .The lever doesnt hit the grip but gets quite close nearing the end of the lever when hard braking. I tend to grip the throttle with my thumb and index finger with my other fingers on the brake lever so not a problem.
If it turns out theres no air in the system then perhaps an adjustable lever will be the solution for people who take a different grip on throttle and brake lever.
