Pressure Test

By Gaz under Bikes & Cars

Result! My tank passed the pressure test, so I am GBP600 better off than shelling out for a new one. Also I get to choose another colour for the bike, since the only coloured bits are the fender and the tank, so I am plumping for dragon red. I’ll probably replace the scuffed fender with an aftermarket carbon jobby to match my hugger, and maybe a carbon belly-pan from the money I just saved. Ordered the various levers I need from Three Cross, so hopefully she’ll be back on the road this side of Christmas. Unfortunately, that’s my Christmas holiday money blown, so I get to have another cold wet yuletide in blighty. The moral of the story is not to buy a rare expensive Italian designer bike if you wanna throw it down the road from time to time.
