S4R Unwell, well, sort of!

Took Mr S4R for a ride today to establish quite how unwell he might be. I have had a spell where the engine seems to want to rev in ways that are utterly unrelated to how far open the throttle is; which is clearly no good. Only snag is that the problem seems to go away at high speed so its a bit unclear what is going on. Will take bike off tomorrow for an expensive stay with Motorapido
up in Winchester and hopefully he will come back fixed and with a new MOT to boot.
I still see the Ducati as No.1 bike but the recent increased use of the Honda has made me realise what an excellent bike that is as well. It can easily reach 130mph, is incredibly smooth and easy to ride and now that the second baffle has come out it even makes quite a good noise!
