    Tested my Christmas quick shifter.
    Total non-event.
    Slightest stutter and the new gear slips in.
    Even first to second which was 'nah chance mate' last time I had one.

    My brother had one. Great bikes, plenty torque and very nimble in corners. Never gave him any problems.

    got sorted this morning, back to Halfords to get the right battery - got there for 9:10 and they didn’t open till 10! Ffs. Then went to a local bike repair place - only one local to me that was open. Took the racefit with me. If I had actually got it out I would have realised it’s a slip on - no clamp fml! Bought a new clamp anyway for when/if I put the original one back on. What a day! I’ve confirmed I’m an idiot

    There wasn’t any, but me being me didn’t even get the pipe out the bubble wrap to check until trying to get the right size clamp. What an idiot :D:D:D still got a new clamp for the original when I’m fed up with being a hooligan!

    As an incentive for the dawdly tourists and old codgers not to impede my first ride of 2020 ...I have removed ze baffle so we can sing the song of our people all around the Peak District :)
    Have a good one guys if you're out as well...dry roads and lovely day here :D

    Ride safe girl:)
    I really should try my one with the baffle in just to see the difference. I got it in a box when I got the bike and I’ve never had it in :D

    The difference is with this can, that riding with baffle out and my earplugs in makes it as loud as riding with baffle in but no earplugs. Love the sound with it out but when you ride nearly every day in the summer it loses its magic and you slowly go deaf lol ;)
    Great to see everyone's heads turning again as I rumbled thru the villages and it sounds so epic when you open it up :D
    Been out an hour now & I've just stopped for a warm up & not seen 1 bike :eek:
    Where is everyone :rolleyes:

    OMG it’s on. Took an hour and a bit tonight. Getting the flange all cleaned up with my trusty dremel then getting it all lined up. Not sure on the infill panel, got it as best as I could. It is slightly touching the exhaust though?
