Was great to finally have a run on the Pearl though, after hearing so much about it. Would like to have another go too, when its not leaking oil like the best of British
It's a fun old girl to have a strop on. I was giggling like a school girl when it got the mid corner wobbles up when you hit any hint of a bump. I can't believe how much power the old girl has though! It goes like shit off a shiny shovel for a 30 year old bike.

Phil - it was not really an oil leak - it was much more like an oil weep. Just a drop every now and then......I swear !!!
Straight onto the headers though, which was a bit unfortunate
Nelso - it handles heaps better when the rear axle is tight ! yes, you heard it here first - that axle was moving in the swingarm.....hence the wobble.....
