Oh saucy photos eh, I'm sure you handed them to the local constabulary to be good :P I can't make it, pretty rude of you to not schedule it over here :D BOS in NC next year? You can try the Z :D Looks lovely and damp over there. If and when I move home I will come across for one of these :)

Hi Pete, here's hoping the weather is decent for you and that there is a great turnout. A bit far for me on my 350 though ! 😂 Have a great weekend mate. The 8S is looking absolutely wonderful. I wouldn't change a thing. You nailed it ! Cheers Pete, Garry & Ruby

Sounds great - I'd love to be there but sadly a bit far for a weekend jaunt - I'm sure it'll be a blast and look forwards to the many video cut by those attending.

Think the weather may be ok for you 🤞 Unfortunately, we have alternative plans. Hope the event goes well. That old house of yours look well smart, like a building with a bit of history.

Fingers crossed 🤞 Ahh, that is a shame... no doubt our paths will cross again at somepoint though 🙂👍 Haha... I remember my mum telling me when we moved in that the stripper pole was for firemen 🤣 she wasn't able to explain all the deflated "balloons" that filled a wall cavity or their mystery contents... The house was lovely by the time my parents split up and we all moved out. Be worth a fortune now, less so back then lol

Wish i could come but a little tofar , have a great time love your channel, i have an black 8s do you have any problems with getting the chain tension right , if its the right tension the bike surges at low speed , but if its slack theres no surging its around 10 mph in 1st i have no tight spots but its annoying, love the bike and your channel , love my bike its now done5000 miles and still gives me a grin every time out, at the 7500 service ill get thrm to check the throttle bodies balance

Am sure there will be other opportunities mate. It does seem to like the chain being in the goldilocks of adjustment zone. Maybe run it a smidge looser if it rides nicer? In the past on other bikes I've found the opposite... more snatchy when loose rather than when adjusted properly, ice only got around 2000 miles on mine so far. It is an awesome machine, especially with the TC turned off.

​@@HippoDronesthanks , keep up the good work , fantastic bike i dont think the surge is fuel has its not allways there and playing with the chain tension does effect it, a mate of mine tested the bike and he could not feel it so it could be me too sensitive ,but i must say its not a problem or distracts from how good this bike is 100 % love it
