Very rarely, there was a very steep hill I came across where the Maxi just couldn't cope on its own so I applied 'Light Pedal Assistance' as its deemed but even a mahoosive climb like Wrotham Hill it seems to cope with pretty well. I'm just over 16st currently but it got me all the way up the hill yesterday at ~20mph. We 'did' Death Hill yesterday too at around 18mph towards the top, Rarrrrrrr!

To start it you're supposed to pedal and pull in the starting clutch/decompressor and the engine bursts into life but I've found it starts just fine using the nearside pedal as a kickstart. It's a flywheel magneto so you have to supply the initial power to get the bike to come to life.

Top fun

Yeah, I was thinking along similar lines Mark, reflecting on the time I rode from Bath to Bristol and back with Mr Bass and wondering if we might do it again with him pacing - I think he would provide plenty of shelter!

... and we added the Two Tunnels loop onto the end, a good ride that was.

Doubt I'd fit through the tunnel nowadays.

I watched it last night.

Are your feet better enough to ride a motorcycle yet ?

Changing the tank on the AJS Cadwell, because I want it red. Oh my word – what a marathon

– began the job on Wednesday, finally finished Friday. Then it wouldn't start... well to be exact, the electric start, wouldn't ... cue the switch cleaner ...

Well done on getting the job finished, the red tank looks very smart.

Is that a tent in your back garden ?
